the Virtual HMC that can run on the Intel hypervisors (KVM, VMWare, Xen).

*ppc64 or ppc64le* - describes the Linux code that is compiled to run on
Power-based servers or LPARS (Logical Partitions)

    *General fixes*


  * Added support to allow administrators to specify the Client Adapter
    Id while attaching virtual storage using virtual fiber channel in
    order to allow for their desired mapping rules. Previously, only the
    next available adapter was possible.
  * Fixed an issue that prevented users from adding additional VLAN to
    an existing load group using HMC GUI for systems that are not VSN
    (Virtual Server Network) capable.
  * Fixed an issue where the Logical Partition list is missing in the
    Software Service Information Transmission. This occurs when the HMC
    is managing multiple systems and a few of the systems do not have
    any logical partitions.
  * During Day Light Saving (DST), the timestamp in HMC's Performance
    and Capacity Monitoring (PCM) dashboard and some of the HMC log
    files show one hour lag as compared to actual HMC’s system time. 
    Fixed the issue to synchronize the time in application server with
    the system time when DST change occurs.
  * Fixed an issue where the user specified a Client adapter Id which
    was not honored and the SCSI mapping was created with the next
    available slot instead while associating a Virtual Optical Device to
    the partition.


*Previously released fixes also included in this PTF: *
*
MH01800/MH0181*
   11/21/18 	


  * Enabled support for concurrent repair of SMP cables for P9 System
    9080-M9S
  * Fixed an issue where applying a HMC update would reset the
    lpar_rmc_comm_ifs value to default.
