CMC Updates - August 2020

The following updates have been made in this release:

• The Power Systems Private Cloud with Shared Utility Capacity expands IBM Power Enterprise Pools 2.0 to Power S924 (9009-42G), and Power S922 (9009-22G) systems.
  
  Each Power S924 or Power S922 system must have at least one of its installed processors activated through the Base Processor Activation features.
  
  The Power Enterprise Pools 2.0 enablement feature EP20 must be configured on any Power S922 and Power S924 systems participating in the Power Enterprise Pool.
  
  One to thirty-two Power S922 and Power S924 systems are supported in a pool.
  
  Power E980 and Power E950 systems may not be mixed in the same Power Enterprise Pool 2.0.  Power S924 and Power S922 systems may be mixed in the same pool, but may not be mixed with either Power E980 or Power E950 systems.
  
  
• The Basic Authentication, Digest, Kerberos, LDAP, and No Authentication authentication types are supported with an HTTP proxy.
  
  
• You can view the current resource consumption for all the systems managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC) in the Resources Summary pane of the performance view, and then select specific systems for comparison in a new comparison stacked graph.
  
  To compare the performance details of specific managed systems, select from two to five systems in the systems inventory table and click Compare.
  
  The Stacked Graph section displays the graph of the core usage for the chosen date range.  The Y-axis represents the total core usage and the X-axis represents the date and time range.  Each system is shown in a different color for easy comparison.  If the system does not have data available for that date range, the system is greyed out in the legend section and a “No data available” message is displayed in hover help.
