RE: Ethernet vary off/on - no twinax

Vern,

Are you sure about that? I do not believe that the ASMI can do
anything with varying any line or resource on or off. The ASMI ports
(labeled HMC1 and HMC2) on the back of the Power5 class machines is the
interface into the FSP.

If you were using Operations Console Lan attached, you would have
Ops Console connected to T5, and your Ethernet line would use the resource
associated with T6. So, in theory you have two Ethernet connections, only
one which you can get to start a session, and the other is reserved for the
Lan Console in this configuration.

Since I usually put a small hub between my T5 port and my Ops
Console PC, I always plug that little hub into the UPS.

Yeah, the ASMI can do that, as I recall. It seems to use one or the other of
the HMC ports. It can even be set up to be accessible from the network, I
believe, although I never probed that option far enough.

A post I just read popped a question into my brain.

If there's a problem with the one and only ethernet line on my i5 520 to
where I need to do a vary off/on to correct, I can now do that in one of
2 (maybe 3) ways:

1) Go to the lone remaining twinax display I have and perform it there
2) Use my ops console direct connect and do it there
3) Sign on to my IXS, open a 5250 session, and do it there (I think)

But if my next system has no twinax, no IXS, no HMC, and who knows what
for a console , how would I do that?

Is this where the ASM port comes in?
