HMC classic interface

Please do us a favour and reactivate the classic HMC interface. The fancy new interface is (to be polite) a mess regarding usability.

    Hi Holger,

    As per our e-mail discussions, DLPAR functions for Virtual FC are available in the UI and upcoming release is adding the support for DLPAR of only adapters as well. Please let us know if you were looking for more functions or enhancements. Marking this as Delivered for now since the function is available.

    additional comment:
    the more i work with 8.8.7 SP3 the more i hate it!
    There is no more functionality like "dynamic LPAR" for managing virtual fibre channel connections
    between VIOS and LPARs. The new function of managing using "virtual storage" just throws a lot
    of error messages. Didn't anyone test? I am really upset.
    Without Software maintenance for HMC (to be honest - lot of customers do not have this for all HMC systems) you're broken.
    Then IBM changes web site for creating service request - and this web site does not work...
