Description:

     with new firmware and large system configuration the data cannot be
     represented with the old inefficient format anymore. (jsc#SLE-11094,
     jsc#SLE-11193, jsc#SLE-11092, jsc#SLE-11319, jsc#ECO-935) (fate#326955)
   - Logical Partition (LPAR) losing Resource Monitoring and Control (RMC)
     after Live Partition Mobility (LPM)
     operation on POWER systems with more than 24TB main memory installed
      (bsc#1161925) (bsc#1158312)
