AIX and Firmware update keys are two different keys. You can have a legit Firmware Update Access Key and be able to get and update the firmware but an expired AIX Update Access Key.

I put the pictures here, because I never saw them before. 🧵

[power-devops @PowerDevops]

You still can update AIX if you have access to an AIX image. You can see it on one of the two picturesthan, that the installed AIX image is newer as the AIX update key.

Till that time I can suggest you another option. But: it can be illegal in your company.

Be careful implementing it!

What is wrong with me? I installed the latest and greatest fix on my IBM AIX, but my security department wants the older fix to be installed too. 🧵

[power-devops @PowerDevops]

Is there any chance to solve the problem? To install only the new fix and keep the security department happy?

Yes, if IBM changes its policy or at least starts to change its older advisories and add a note there that the problems can be fixed with the newer fix too. 👇

What I learned yesterday? How to subscribe to a Google Calendar in Fantastical on Mac

[power-devops @PowerDevops]

The worst feeling. You waited for a meeting and you missed it because of the wrong timezone information in your calendar.

[power-devops @PowerDevops]

@RainmanJam Yeah, it is! As for me more performance is always good! AI card looks awesome too.

Yesterday Red Hat announced public availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Beta. Today I downloaded and checked it. 🧵

The worst feeling. You waited for a meeting and you missed it because of the wrong timezone information in your calendar.

You can see the installation in the video https://t.co/us7Ad1t11f and subscribe to the newsletter https://t.co/gcPMRxUAWi where you can read more (and more technical) information about automating IBM Power.

The next good news is that I didn't change a byte in my kickstart file to deploy RHEL10-Beta. OK, I really changed 4 bytes. I changed RHEL9 to RHEL10 and changed the path to the NFS repository with RHEL10-Beta. That's all changes! Really! 👇

[power-devops @PowerDevops]

Did you already download RHEL 10 Beta? It is officially anounced today. 🎉
