IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i - 7.3

The IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for i licensed program is not being refreshed for 7.3.  PowerHA (5770-HAS) 7.2 will run on either IBM I 7.3 or IBM I 7.2.  This will allow customers who take a bit longer to upgrade to 7.3 to still take advantage of the newest PowerHA functionality.

Along with the announce of the IBM I 7.3 release, PowerHA is announcing the support of DS8000 HyperSwap with independent auxiliary storage pools (IASPs).  This new function provides near-zero downtime for planned and unplanned storage outages and can be used with other IASP-based PowerHA technologies.  This function is provided through a new function 7.2 PowerHA PTF.

More details on this new HyperSwap functionality can be found on the IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for Technology Updates page.
