Re: ASMI Port ?

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First LAN console uses a completely different physical port than the HMC port where you can get to ASMI. You can have both plugged in to your network and configured. You do not  need a HMC to reach AMSI it is nothing more than a web interface. You can then enter a second IP address on any PC on the same network segment as the iSeries HMC port and access AMSI by remoteing to the PC first then browsing to the AMSI IP address
