Customise Partition Gallery View to Add Reference Code

The gallery view in the Enhanced view of HMC does not show the Reference Code of the LPAR in the "Partitions" view or of the System Unit in the "All Systems" view.

There are times when this information is key!, it is possible to switch to the Table View as a workaround but this is not intuitive.

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    Thanks for your feedback, yes that shows you the current SRC but it does not update as the SRCs change, in fact it seems to automatically close this extra window when the SRC code changes.

    Further, this information window takes up a lot of space so that is a lot to sacrifice when looking to one SRC code.

    Finally, as a Sysadmin that looks after a lot of LPARs I would like to be able to view the real-time SRC codes on more than one LPAR at a time.

    As an IBM i SysAdmin, we are particularly interested in monitoring for changes to SRC code status.

    So I how you will consider the option to add this information to the the gallery view.

    Hi,

    The Click card "i" icon in the gallery view does show the reference code. Is this request to show it outside of the click card like how cpu and memory is shown?

    Thanks.
