And still, it can run any recent flavour of Linux and those should pass
audits...

I don't audit myself. And V7R4 is still very viable.

Why it won't run V7R5 I don't know. Oh ya, I do. IBM wants more
money.

I guess that depends on your definition of viable.
Will it compute x times y? Yes.
Will it run current versions of the operating system which passes
audits?
No.

Haha... no thanks. This P8 is big enough! I have a feeling the SS

don't have magnets, though, like the older ones. The only thing
I've
collected from them.

I'm sure it will sit in the office for a couple years before I
figure
out
what to do with it. It's a shame. It's still so viable.

It may be turned on from time to time as I'm sure there's some
stuff
I
forgot on it. :) But it's such a waste... that machine is still
100%
viable.

Yep that is normal.

Means the system is down but ready to IPL.

Pull the power cord and the heart beat will fade away

I shut down my P8 system since I've transitioned to a new cloud
system.
Yes, my office is too quiet now.. hah!

I don't recall before the power light flashing green about 2x a
second
constantly.. Is that normal? Any way to have it just shut off
or
do
I
just have to kill power to it?

Thanks!
