Fixed Remote Restart operation failures when invoked from the REST API resulting in error message "raise exception.IBMPowerVMRemoteRestartFailed(error)".
Fixed an issue that prevented the user from launching the Hardware Virtualized IO tab for partitions on older POWER7 server models that have HEA but do not support SR-IOV.
Fixed an issue that prevented the Cloud Management Console from correctly detecting whether Network Time Protocol (NTP) was enabled or disabled on the HMC.
