    Make the control panel more physically accessible (specific issue starting with Power 9 Tower models).

    Please add nslookup, host, dig as part of the base os and not part of option 31, dns

    I need to use nslookup (could maybe settle for dig or host) from IBM i. However only my lpars with option 31, dns, loaded have that command. I feel that option 31 dns is a 'host' feature while nslookup, etc are client features. I do not want to lo...

    Finally leverage "the mainframe lesson" and fully exploit NUMA in POWERsystems

    Why run VIO servers in the same cores, DIMMs, buses, etc. as all your real workloads? Instead of a 2-socket / 2 NUMA domain system, sell us an asymmetric 4-socket / 4 NUMA domain system where 2 of the sockets / domains are much smaller and contain...
