Hello Chris,
Thank you for the response. I was in the ASMI and I changed eth0 and eth1 to
our LAN ip addresses. Eth0 was set to automatic (DHCP) and eth1 was set to a
static IP. Both IPs respond to ping from the LAN.
http://192.168.5.250 does not load. IE sits and waits and then displays the
page can not be displayed error (not the connection failure error). https on
that IP immediately fails.
Ssh and telnet to 192.168.5.250:80 also fail to connect (timeout).
The front console does not have any SRC errors. In manual mode, option 30
shows that T1 and T2 (HMC1 and HMC2) have the IP addresses that I
configured.
I did set the new IP addresses while I was using the ASMI over the web. The
IBM docs did not say that this would be a problem. What I really was setting
out to do was to set the LAN IP addresses for the non-management Ethernet
ports, silly me.
The IBM docs indicate that I need to use the serial mode of ASMI to fix the
IP addresses. I have a blue Cisco serial cable with the RJ45 end that I can
use to plug into the front console port (S1).

You change the IP on the HMC, correct? Not within ASMI on the iSeries?
If that is the case, try setting a laptop with the old HMC IP address.
See if you can then connect to ASMI?
When you say nothing on the front panel, do you mean it is blank or no
SRC codes? What exactly does the front panel of the 520 have on it.
No there is no special processing that happens when you change the IP
address.

Subject: ASMI and changing IP address
Hello,
I have a 9405-520 with V6R1. Connected to the device using HMC1 and the
ASMI (
http://192.168.2.147). Followed the instructions to change eth0
to dynamic and eth1 to a static address, which apparently changed HMC1
and HMC2 (not expected).
Now the 520 isn't responding to neither the dynamic IP or the static IP
that I configured (not responding to ASMI load). I am able to ping both
IP addresses from the "console" computer. I am directly attached to HMC2
from the console computer, and connecting through the LAN switch for
HMC1.
I noticed the 520 was all of a sudden doing lots of activity - lots of
drive activity. This is a first-time access, so does the 520 do some
special setup operations when you first change the HMC IP addresses?
Nothing on the front panel either.
