There have been quite a few problems with ML09, I understand. You'd
probably be better off going for ML10.
I had a similar problem with some p660-6H1s: between me reading the
documentation and actually trying to install them IBM updated the manuals
and said they needed a higher maintenance level. Not a problem when you
know about it, but finding out the day before was quite annoying!
