    Currently, there are no plans to provide custom control on the login page icons.

    Thanks for the information. The previous login page (prior to HMC V8 R8.6.0 SP1) also used to show the status of systems/serviceable events. There used to be 3 bars which represent system status, Attention LED's and the Serviceable events. The same information is provided in a different manner with the new login page. We do understand that everyone might not take an action, but if they are not interested in the info, then it can ignored and login can be done. But we are still trying to understand how this information can be exploited to harm the systems. Can you please provide some info on "exploiting to harm the systems" part ?

    Can you please provide more information on what information in the login page you consider can be used to harm the systems? Please see previous comment as well.

    Hi,

    We assume that you are referring to the new login page with 860 SP1. The information shown there doesn't show any system name or other credentials. It just highlights whether there are things that need attention. Also, if some one wants to view what are the systems having problems or the serviceable events, they would need to login to the HMC. So can you please provide more information on what information you consider can be used to harm the systems?

    Thanks.
