It is not good idea to report it as an issue. IBM i does not use the RMC for DLPAR operations. People might be confused that something is wrong

Good point, and one we're aware of.  We'll remove this field by the official release of the new console.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Our test teams have already raised a defect for that and the fix will be available in the release V8R8.2.0.1 (SP1)

Regards,

Philippe.

You need to help user out with some guideline on what to do. - perhaps a hover over popup

I recall you can run a HMC command to prove or otherwise check if RMC is working.

Reporting "its broken" is going to generate annoyed customers without a hint what to do.
