To support MaxDB 7.9 on PowerHA 7.1 SmartAssist

Power 7.1.3 Smart Assist to configure MAX DB fails with:
1) Data location errors.
2) Using the wrong flag, (upper case U instead of lower case u to query maxDB status
3) The smit panels do not allow insertion of the maxdb account password ( or at least do not have the correct text to state you can add the password in the same field in the format - accountname,password

PMR 60896,999,866 has stated that this is because the version we are using is too high and is not currently supported even though it has been out for 3 years.
