Greg, is this a duplicate of bz#521609 or at least the same fix will be required?

This patch is an implementation that explores use of cgi communication with a separate server deamon process used to carry out commands.

Can you post the command to apply the patch?

I got errors when trying to apply it:
[root@eagle3 v7]# pwd
/usr/share/v7/lib/v7
[root@eagle3 v7]# patch -p2 < hardwaretest.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

RedHat,

Dose this patch have a fix for this bug? are you expecting IBM to test it? which build should this patch be applied to v7-1.1-19 or later build?

v7-1.3-35 : passed the network tests on a Power7 blade with a 2-port HEA card.

Will try on a Power7 standalone system.

Hien,

When you get a chance, please test the latest HTS (-43) build on a server, if it works, you might close this bug.

Thanks,

Linda
