The User Centered Design (UCD) place in Rochester is very impressive.
I was up there when they were doing some things with Infocenter and
interactive instructions for network configuration. And the food in
the cafeteria is pretty good too!

Got ask to provide feedback for the Electronic Software Delivery and
the iSCSI attached xSeries setup.

I think I almost gave the IBM'ers heart attacks though....they were
shocked that I actually read the all the instructions. The IBM'ers I
was working with kept introducing me to others as "the one customer
that reads the instructions."

It was fun...the trip out there though was a nightmare!

IBM used to have a usability lab or something in Rochester. See if you
can wrangle a trip up there to QuickStart a like configuration. When I
did a Domino migration from one platform to another I was up there. Your
every move is videotaped while in there.

While evaluating some new IBM box some years ago IBM asked if we would
send some developer who was hardware illiterate up there to check out if
one box was truly "customer installable". We sent the perfect candidate
(not me). He was the kind of guy who would ask "Where's the 'any' key?".

Subject
JS12 startup progress - or lack thereof






Just a post for those who are following the status of my JS12:

I haven't called IBM yet because I am traveling this week and wouldn't
have access to the HW if access was needed. The AMM is part of the
internal network now so I can get to it remotely but if I had to change
the HW config, I'd be stuck. I got an email from Vess Natchev this
morning because I had sent him some feedback on his readme. Basically I
said there was a need for a quick start guide for express editions that
have everything already installed. He seemed to think that it *was* a
simple process to start an express edition, so I emailed him my config
and what the current issue was. We'll see if something pops from that.
In any case, I need to wait until I am back in the office at home to go
forward.

I noticed this morning that the SRC code on the blade itself (Service
Tools--> Blade Service Data --> Link to the blade --> System Reference
Codes) shows an SRC of AA00E1B0 which means "Waiting for the user to
select the language and keyboard."

Is this coming from the i partition or VIOS? If it is the i, perhaps
all I need to do is figure out what IP address the blade is using. If
it is VIOS, I just need to figure out why I cannot connect to the VIOS
layer on the blade.

In any case, as soon as I can, I'll either hear from Vess or call IBM
and I'll post the resolution here.
