Hmm. Interesting.  The first sentence "The updated IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper, the 
entry point into the portfolio, is now enabled with improved speed and 
processing power." combined with Carlos' discovery in the IBM Configurator 
seems to all be pointing in the same direction.

The page mentions March in relation to "IBM Open Platform."  Maybe if we're 
really lucky the formal announcement(s) will be done at SHARE.

Hi, 

You can download a data sheet for the new LinuxOne RockHopper  Machine type 
2965. 
on the IBM LinuxOne website:
www.ibm.com/systems/linuxone/

More promotion is done on the Wired seb site:
www.wired.com

So far, I only have seen reference to machine type 2965 models L10 and L20.

That's from back in August when the Rockhopper was announced as a BC12, so not 
quite what Carlos was talking about.

As someone who works for SUSE, that's not exactly news.  :)

Hi, Michael,

That data sheet is sorely lacking compared to the ones for previous models.  
Hopefully more info will be coming out as we go along.

If you hear anything about, or can point me to a resource that talks about 
processor cycle speed, number of LPARs, Flash Express, zEDC, RoCE and 
InfiniBand, I'm in the process of updating an internal class and would like to 
add in those details.


Thanks,

Mark Post

For the new z13s?  I already have the Redbooks for the z13.

Because the "updated" Rockhopper is no longer a BC12.  It's apparently going to 
be based on a z13s.
