IBM Power Ideas Portal
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
Start by posting ideas and requests to this portal to enhance a Power product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas and add comments to ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The Power teams will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

IBM agrees it would be good to implement this request so it has been changed to Uncommitted Candidate, but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. It is important to address this issue -- we want to strive for correct information, but it's not critical like the system serial number would be.

The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a HIGH priority requirement that is important to address.
This has the potential to cause confusion as the serial number implies it will be unique and in this case you can get duplications of serial no. This issue might cause confusion and even data loss.

This is a design change that requires system wide investigation. We will look into it. We will let you know when investigation is complete.
