Re: V5R2 Console Recommendations

My impression is that you use some sort of remote service to take control 
of that Pc from the PC on your desk, instead of having two separate PC's 
controlling it.  Sort of like a PCAnywhere product.

Re: V5R2 Console Recommendations






Thanks for the info, Vern. Especially the tip about the addressing.

Does the console recover well (reliably and/or without human intervention)
from network problems (router, switch, etc)  between the console PC and 
the
iSeries, or would this fall under your note #2?

Can I have more than one console on a system, i.e. PC in the computer room
and PC at my desk?

Thanks,
-Marty

I'm using the latest OpsConsole (V5R2) against our V5R1 and V5R2 270s. 
Also 
using PCOMM's Async Console against our V3R7 150. Everything works great 
now, once a couple things are done and observed.

1. If the iSeries is on your internal network (192.168.x.x type 
addresses), 
make sure that you do NOT use 192.168.0.0 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for 
your internal network - OpsConsole insists on grabbing that whole thing. 
We 
use 192.168.1.0

2. Try not to disconnect the cable - this can mess the thing up, I've used 

a *FULL IPL to have the machine rebuild device info - don't know if that's 

really what's going on, but it has worked.
