Support vHMC on Hyper-v

Many customers are using vmware, but with new license/broadcom challenges then other hypervisors are asked for. Smaller sites dont have a separate Power systems (or 2) to use for the vHMC so they are forced to either purchase the CR2 (best choice ...

Test button for LDAP

please create a test button to test the LDAP configuration for ASMI and BMC. LDAP shouldn’t be as difficult to get working as it is for IBM applications. LDAP config is easy in Cisco, VMWare and Dell implementations, and they have a test button to...

almost 2 years ago in Hardware Management Console 0 Planned for future release

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.
