Managing the Thin Console The Thin Console provides a 5250 emulation session as a console for an i5/OS logical partition for only the following servers, when they are
not managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC): the IBM System i5 and

pSeries servers that use the IBM Virtual I/O Server on a management partition. On the managed system, you can create logical partitions, manage the virtual storage and virtual Ethernet, and view service information related to the server.
Clustering systems using InfiniBand hardware Now you can use InfiniBand adapters and InfiniBand switches to cable and configure your systems in cluster configurations. Use the new InfiniBand adapters to connect your system to an InfiniBand switch or fabric.
New documentation offers you the technical information and instructions you need to enable clustering servers using InfiniBand products. If you use the Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can use the IBM Network Manager and have integrated help information available any time you perform a related task. If the need arises, service providers can use new diagnostic procedures to aid in diagnosing and resolving network problems. A good place to start is
