IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i.

Add Processor Feature Code to Virtual Control Panel

Please also display the Processor Feature Code in the Virtual Control Panel within ACS.

Yes, this is discoverable in the Serviceabliltiy section in the HMC, but I would like to see it added along side the MachineType, Model, Serial number information on the virtual control panel.


Use Case:

Chasing down a feature code is difficult when ACS is not installed, adding to the virtual control panel gives another view and more functionality to ACS.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.
