General fixes

Added support to allow administrators to specify the Client Adapter Id while attaching virtual storage using virtual fiber channel in order to allow for their desired mapping rules. Previously, only the next available adapter was possible.
Fixed an issue that prevented users from adding additional VLAN to an existing load group using HMC GUI for systems that are not VSN (Virtual Server Network) capable.
Fixed an issue where the Logical Partition list is missing in the Software Service Information Transmission. This occurs when the HMC is managing multiple systems and a few of the systems do not have any logical partitions.
During Day Light Saving (DST), the timestamp in HMC's Performance and Capacity Monitoring (PCM) dashboard and some of the HMC log files show one hour lag as compared to actual HMC’s system time. Fixed the issue to synchronize the time in application server with the system time when DST change occurs.
Fixed an issue where the user specified a Client adapter Id which was not honored and the SCSI mapping was created with the next available slot instead while associating a Virtual Optical Device to the partition.

Previously released fixes also included in this PTF:

MH01800/MH0181
11/21/18

Enabled support for concurrent repair of SMP cables for P9 System 9080-M9S
Fixed an issue where applying a HMC update would reset the lpar_rmc_comm_ifs value to default.
