    The support for labeling Physical FC and SRIOV Physical ports is available with HMC level 10.1.1010.0 or later and requires VIOS 3.1.2.0 or later. If you have any additional labeling requirements, please create a new Aha! request.

    There is general agreement that an additional label field (for vfc and fc device) for customer defined uses would be beneficial.
