That's one of my greatest complaints. IBM seems to think that since
partition mobility will destroy any sequence numbers, you should never set
them yourself, and if you do, you are too stupid to understand, you don't
need to.
The other thing is why would you ever MOVE a device/memory/cpu from
partition to partition? In AIX/Linux the OS barfs when you do that. IBM i
just says, OK, whatever you want. So, since the designers never asked any
IBM i folks about the redesign the just dropped the move. So now you must
remove, then add new. That of course plays havoc with device naming and
resource names.........
Oh, and IBM i hosting anything else, Yea right...... They claim it's in
the new HMC, but I'll be danged if I can find it...... Again, AIX can't do
that so why would we include it.......
Just gets my blood boiling.

Subject: HMC woes WAS: RFE: Document how to migrate from 5733OPS to
preferred distributions
Had a WebEx going with IBM over a HMC issue (dynamic scsi pair). I like to
use my own numbering and not just let it go back to assigning the next
available number. My numbering makes sense to me and my BP.
First Digit = server lpar number
Second Digit = client lpar number
Third digit = differentiator when using multiple nwsd's per pair.
You had to click on just the right pixel and in just the right sequence to
get it to stop changing it to the next available number.
Very frustrating. Drove me back to the command line.
Hint: This guy is sharp and I used to work with him in Domino.

So, I take it you really enjoy and recommend the new HMC graphical
environment?
My sentiments are similar to yours. If there was a way to take the HMC and
make it nearly unusable, IBM found it. It even drove Larry to the command
line almost completely.

In preparation for moving to our new power 9 box this coming weekend (new
HMC interface can bite my shiney *#@$), I just deleted all the OPS stuff and
dealt with the fallout. For me python was the only thing really being used.
I had to fix up the default path and install a couple of packages that I had
in the OPS versions. At the very least a list of differences or potential
gotchas would be nice.

Bingo! This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

Interesting. I thought the standard advice was to scrap everything in
5733-OPS, unless specifically needed for finicky software (with hard-coded
paths or extremely version-dependent code).
And I'm *positive* the advice for folks who have never installed 5733-OPS is
not to bother installing it now.
