Following additional content was added with the new release:
- Enhancement to handle mirrored rootvg in case of alt_disk_copy.
- Fixed LDAP check before running mkuser.
- Enhancements in nim_adm role: check for CacheVG, eFix bundle, pre/post migration.
- Expanded nimadm_options to include Pre-,Post-, and Phases_to_run and set_fact for them.
- Add output from "lsrsrc IBM.MCP" to lpar_facts to make the controlling HMC details readily available from within a playbook.

These additions were included after surveying AIX clients and getting direct input from the users on our GitHub repository. If you have any suggestions that you'd like us to cover, you can post them here or on our GitHub repository (link available below).
