Clock Card Concurrent Maintenance

Client experienced Customer Impacting Event on 9/12/17. Was told that concurrent maintenance is not an option on Power8 9119 MHE and that an outage would be required to replace clock card to ensure redundancy going forward. PE and Service Availability Manager explained that this functionality could not be provided on Power8 however client requested it be added to Power9. Complaint AA2998 is open for this client (a LUG member). Though they use IBM i, we don't feel that the operating system should be a factor in this RFE.
