vgSupport - Updates and Fixes
Written by Michael Felt   

Recently IBM has made changes to their support download areas - and everything (i.e. HMC and firmware updates) seems to be redirected to the Fix Central. You will need to navigate through the panels, and learn the new paths - as I am now.

IMHO: new front-end, fine - but dont break/diasble the old ones.Something that was so easy - for experts - has now become real hard.

p.s. I have removed the links on the right that would just redirect you to Fix Central. The IBM Director and VIO Server links are still direct links.

So, I wrote a simplier script using ksh. The example here does have some extra text that I'll probably put behind a verbose flag so I can just create a list of user accounts I want to lock.
