more than a minute with a large number of LPARs.
- Fixed an issue where using the server/VIOSs/partition
"click-card" (i icon) to turn off an attention
indicator can cause unintended modifications to other
properties. The unintended modifications may include
deletion of in use virtual adapters resulting in an impact to
running partitions/VIOS.
- Fixed an issue with 7063-CR1 where the HMC may fail to boot
to the log on panel with “error 1901” and all network adapters
disabled when one or more adapters are plugged into a dcbx
capable switch that has dcbx enabled.

Known issues and Limitations
- If the local console browser hangs, click the X button to
close the browser and the login page will be presented to the
user.
- Following data types are not supported in data replication:
- Outbound Connectivity Data
- Customer Information Data
- In Performance and Capacity Monitoring dashboard, Processed
and Aggregated metrics for Energy monitoring data does not
contain thermal information, it is included in Raw metrics.
- HMC does not support modification of Kerberos username from
GUI.
- CEC Icon in GUI dashboard for E950 system is not unique.
- In Network Settings panel, DHCP ranges in address ranges table
have duplicate entries.
- If a failure occurs while creating the Network Bridge from the
GUI, virtual switch information is not cleared from GUI. Refresh
the panel to recover from failure.
- User will notice Internal Error while modifying the VLAN list
information when the virtual NIC does not have any active
backing device.
- User will not be able to view the virtual NIC backing devices
if the VIOS RMC state is inactive.
- HMC does not support simultaneous modify operations like
changing failover priority and removing backing device in a
single operation.
- User will not be able to add and delete additional vlan ids as
part of single POST operation through REST interface.
- When cloud connector is running on the HMC, Users might
observe an increase in /var/ disk space when observed with 'df
-h' though the 'du' doesn't show so much of data being actually
present in the /var/ partition. In such case, users need to stop
and start the cloud connector to avoid the E212E134 SRCs being
generated.
- In Power Management panel for P9 system, operation labels are
different as compared to labels shown in ASMi.
- HMC does not support modification of IP address
for the sl0 interface.
- HMC does not support launching of VTerm console for multiple
logical partitions at same time.
- Customer shall see the garbage characters in some menu items
of dashboard when non-UTF-8 flavor is selected for HMC locale
and UTF-8 locale is selected for browser (eg. Japanese).
Configuring same language settings on both HMC and browser is
recommended.
- Event manager for ‘call home’ with this release HMC cannot
register with an older release HMC.
- HMC dashboard might display incorrect RMC status when NTP is
enabled. To workaround the issue, user can refresh the page to
see the correct RMC status.
- Security restrictions:
- In NIST mode:
- RMC code on partition does not support two HMC
connections with mixed configuration i.e. one HMC running
in NIST mode and other one in non-NIST mode. Both the HMCs
must be in the same mode.
- In non-NIST mode:
- Following ciphers are not supported although the
available cipher list shows them.
TLS_RSA_FIPS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
Note this function is fully supported for all other Power
systems assuming that the appropriate HMC, firmware and
PowerVM levels installed.
- The GUI does not support disconnected sessions like the
previous Classic GUI did. In the GUI a session logoff is a
logoff and a session disconnect is also a logoff. This means
that the user cannot reconnect to a GUI session to resume a
task(s) from where it left off. Every login via the GUI
creates a new session. For more details on long running tasks,
please refer to the link below:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9eh6/p9eh6_loginmode.htm
- In some rare situations, especially with a Firefox browser,
the user may be redirected to a second login page after login
credentials have been validated. Providing the login
credentials again will fail. If this issue occurs, close and
relaunch the browser.
If the login page locally shows "Console internal error" and
"The requested resource is not available", the framework is
still initializing. Wait a minute and restart the desktop on
the local console using
<ctrl><alt><backspace>
- Enabling or disabling service processor redundancy is only
permitted when both primary and secondary service processors
are at standby with service processor in position A as
primary. The workaround is to set up service processor
failover with the following command:
chsyscfg –m <server
name> -r sys –i "sp_failover_enabled=1"
- Launch of the ASMI menu is not supported using the Safari
browser.
- In case HMC UI pops up a dialog stating "failed to load
widgetset...", please click OK and wait for the content
to be loaded or refresh the view after sometime.
- User will not be able to print Won character (E 13 L1) with
Korean keyboard; Greek (KBD212) - not able to print "Acute and
Diaeresis Accent" (key C-10-L3), and "Syllable Hyphen" (key
B-10-L3).
- HMC Keyboard layout change, incorrectly displays Belgium
keyboard as KBID442 and should be KBID120. They keyboard
configuration correctly assigns the appropriate keyboard value
KBID120 for Belgium, this is just a display name error.
- User will be activate LPAR with current configuration when the
resource role does not contain the LPAR.
- Host Ethernet adapters data table is shown even after
unchecking the “use captured info” selection box while viewing
the Logical Partition template.
- While configuring SRIOV logical port advanced settings in Edit
Partition Template, ‘allow specified VLAN IDs’ field data will
be lost if user navigate view other configuration and terminate
the panel with cancel button.
- User will not be able to view the VIOS license when VIOS
installed using manual console method in Deploy System Template
and Create Virtual I/O Server Wizards.

General Virtual HMC notes
- Virtual HMC Appliance can be deployed in your existing POWER
virtualized infrastructure. Virtual HMC Appliance supports
install into PowerVM LPARs.
- Call home of serviceable events with a failing MTMS of the
HMC itself is disabled. Those serviceable events should
be manually reported to IBM software support.
- To see if you are running on a virtual HMC use the lshmc -v
command. If it displays a UVMID field, then you are running in
a virtual machine.
Example:
lshmc -v
"vpd=*FC ????????
*VC 20.0
*N2 Thu Sep 14 15:02:44 UTC 2017
*FC ????????
*DS Hardware Management Console
*TM Vc87-f0a
*SE 7f61457
*MN IBM
*PN N/A
*SZ 8371892224
*OS Embedded Operating Systems
*NA 127.0.0.1
*FC ????????
*DS Platform Firmware
*RM V8R8.7.0.0
*UVMID c87f:0a7f:603a:1457
"
- When deploying a virtual HMC, if the mac address is not
specified, it will be generated by the hypervisor.
Network configuration on the HMC relies on the value of MAC
addresses. If you re-deploy a new virtual HMC and want to
restore critical console data previously taken on a virtual
HMC, ensure sure you are using the same MAC addresses.
- When using Activation Engine to setup NTP configuration, you
must specify the NTP version value.
- We recommend upgrading to the new image that uses 500GB by
following the steps below:
- From the current HMC version (e.g. HMC V8.860.0),
upgrade to HMC V9 R1 M910
- When the upgrade is complete the HMC is now at a new
version but still has a 160GB disk.
- Perform a Critical Console Data backup, excluding
network information and store the backup to a remote
location.
- Deploy the new HMC V9 R1 M910 image which uses a 500GB
disk.
- After the HMC boots up with the 500GB disk, restore the
Critical Console data.
