Content
The Service Pack contains all the known fixes since 7.2.1 release. See the complete list of APARs included in the later section.
As of Service Pack 1, PowerHA SystemMirror 7.2.1 contains new features like, Upgrade PowerHA SystemMirror using the cl_ezupdate command and PowerHA SystemMirror Interaction with Hardware Management console (HMC) using REST API's. For more details, refer to the article at What's new in PowerHA SystemMirror Version 7.2.1.
Additionally, Service Pack 1 and later contains additional filesets that enable PowerHA SystemMirror Graphical Health Dashboard (GUI) Client support for PowerHA SystemMirror 7.2 and 7.1.3 Clusters. With these filesets, administrator can deploy a PowerHA SystemMirror 7.2.1 based health dashboard server and use that to monitor and manage PowerHA SystemMirror 7.2 and 7.1.3 clusters in their environment.
PowerHA SystemMirror 7.2.1 Service Pack 2 also provides support for the new features offered in the 7.2.2 GUI server, including the ability to start and stop cluster services and resource groups through the GUI. Without Service Pack 2, only monitoring support for 7.2.1 clusters is provided from a 7.2.2 GUI server.
