    Please make the newer HMC models like the 7063-CR1 & 7063-CR2 models be able to read USB flash drives formatted as exFAT or NTFS. The latest service pack ISO file for V10R1 (Service Pack 1021) is 5 GB and is too large to go on a USB drive formatted as FAT32. The HMC is onlt able to read FAT32 formatted flash drives so I can't do my service pack update using a USB flash drive. I have to perform using the network method which is a bit more cumbersome. If the HMC was updated to allow USB format exFAT or NTFS then I could do ISO updates that are larger than 4 GB using the USB flash drive like I have always done in the past. Thanks.

    Makes it more convenient for everybody using the HMC to do updates.

    Provide an end time for long running jobs in Advanced Job Scheduler (5770JS1)

    We have a number of long running AJS jobs that start 06:00 and end 23:00 for example. It would be great to have this function built-in rather than have to write a routine to end the job.

    I propose the creation of a calculator to predict credit consumption. Currently, users of Power Enterprise Pools 2.0 can monitor credit consumption through the CMC console. However, there is no tool available that allows for the prediction of cred...
