Hi there! We now bring you few more exciting features and fixes in our signature virtualization product - PowerVC. Today we're officially releasing the 1.4.3 fix pack, which contains the following updates:

Hitachi Global-active device (GAD)

With 1.4.3 fix pack, PowerVCsupports the Hitachi GAD feature. This feature allows you to register the Hitachi Global-active device (GAD) in PowerVC. Before using this feature, make sure you understand all requirements and restrictions. For details, visit our knowledge center.

Support for IO throttling on IBM Storwize®

When SVC volume_type or storage template is configured with "qos:IOThrottling" and "qos:IOThrottling_unit" extra_specs, then IO rate is configured on volumes which are created based on this template.

IBM PowerVC FlexVolume Driver support for OpenShift Container Platform

You can now use PowerVC with OpenShift Container Platform 3.x. IBM PowerVC FlexVolume Driver helps you to provision the persistent volumes for containers deployed on OpenShift Container Platform.

Introducing the restricted administrator role

PowerVC now allows you to create a restricted administrator role known as "admin_asst". Users with this role can perform all virtual machine, image, and volume lifecycle operations except Delete.

PowerVC uses two more security headers now

PowerVC now uses X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options type HTTP security response headers in addition to HSTS.

Due to customer reported while deploy new LPAR got the errors it out of resource such as memory and unable continue deploy new LPAR.

I've found the "image_properties.csv" in column C of "memory_mb" shown:

====================SUM============================== 104030.8 MB

My questions are:
1. Do you know the "memory_mb" value came from Deploy template or Dynamic added while system running?
2. How to force set deploy template to use only "Minimum" when deploy?

Appreciate if you can feedback above questions for our customer.
