RE: Can't reach HMC console remotely

Also, under HMC management make sure 'Remote Operation' is set to enabled. If you can ping the HMC IP that is configured for your LAN, this may be the problem. And remember, this is a secure HTTP connection (https://)

These types of contractor engagements should always include a requirement
for a document outlining all settings or at least settings changed from the
default. Even screen caps would be adequate.

Most times that's a win-win. You can answer the questions like "what are
the addresses for your DNS's?".

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your suggestion to my posting about my non-existent remote
connectivity to the HMC console.

RE:

We had a similar situation earlier. You've probably checked this
already.

under HMC management and HMC config, there is a customize network
settings

option. When that screen appears go to the Routing tab and check the

default gateway information. Make sure it is pointing to the correct

gateway, and the correct ethernet line. We have 2 lines eth0 goes to the


system and eth1 goes to the lan, ours had somehow gotten switched to the


right gateway but eth0 not eth1 under gateway device.



I'd like to be able to check all of these things, but I must confess, we
had our business partner's IBM certified expert install the HMC and I
really don't know anything about the configuration. Now I feel like I am
at his mercy unless I cough up $150 an hour.

Thank you,
