I'm that small customer. 1 box. 2 full time lpars. I will want to pop up an occasional lpar for testing various things, and this new interface is god awful. Thankfully the command line stuff has better documentation than the gui does. And thankfully I work in linux for 50% of my time. Even run linux as my workstation. The command line is a breeze. 30 minutes to get done what I had spent several hours trying to do with the gui.

Even 20 boxes and 200 LPARS is really a big shop all in. At least that that level you've likely got someone quite dedicated to infrastructure. The VAST number of smaller shops are really lost.
We just hit the 200 LPAR (VIOS not counted) number recently and need to restructure some setups and documentations. As we also run archive systems we have P5 - P7 boxes up and running, so we will be using the classic interface for years… I do not even talk about a lot of customers running one box with one or maybe to LPARs going to have a HMC with the new interface. Cannot repeat what they tell me, trying to push them to OpsConsole as they just need a console for a SAVE21…
And it's why I pretty much do all of this in CLI. Not likely they'll take that away from us!!
Considering this - will need to update some internal docs and learn some details. Two Admins here did not use HMC CLI at all so i think we’re going to have a small workshop with them just to avoid clicky fingers syndrome :)
