We are getting dinged by Qualys that our IBM i is exposed to CVE-2023-51385. I have applied the fixes listed at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7123159 however IBM only chose to patch an old level of OpenSSH instead of putting on a new leve...

User with only (but all) advanced roles assigned should be able to perform LPM (Migrate)

Even if all additional roles at once are assigned to a user the "Migrate" option does not appear on LPARs. This should be the case, because such users have the ability to clone, delete and move VMs and volumes - which is everything a LPM does. Aft...

Communication --> Configure --> Advanced. Please allow us to disable users access to the Advanced portion of the connection tree. We don't want the users to be able to change the protocol.

Enable Virtual Serial Number (VSN) for Shared Processor Pool (SPP)

As currently defined, a Virtual Serial Number (VSN) can only be used once for a single LPAR, with cores fully assigned. This approach significantly limits flexibility. For example, consider a scenario with three LPARs, each assigned 0.4 cores. The...
