HMC HW Appliance 7063-CR1 will not support managing Power server models beyond Power10.

Any idea if they will be releasing a new HMC or should I Just start the process to replace the CR1s with CR2s now?   Thanks Jaqui

I have no idea if a new Power based HMC is in the works.  I used to have x86 physical HMC's and moved to vHMC on x86.  I would never go back to physical HMC's again.

Hi Robert
What's your opinion about the vHMC in x86 in terms of speed and availability ?
You ever try vHMC  in Power?

I have zero complaints about the vHMC as far as speed and reliability.  We have two data centers.  One in Grand Rapids MI and one in Indianapolis IN.  Each has 1 or 2 Power systems.  Each has their own VM center and each VM center has an instance of vHMC.  Either vHMC can control the Power system(s) in the other data center.  I'm totally comfortable upgrading and patching the HMC's midday, midweek.

This works great for us.  Any script kiddie can set up a VM instance, understand how to do a snapshot, get to the console screen, etc.  Why would I want to use vHMC on Power other than to complicate the pool of people who can work on it?

We've been through vCenter upgrades, etc.

I'd personally wait until an official P11 announcement or when it becomes clear. I didn't see any information about new HMC types, but what would happen if you order new CR2 HMCs together with P11?
