Re: LAN Console - Remote Control Panel - N/A when system powered off?

Does the Lan console use the Service processor? NO, thats why you lose the
connection.
Dr Franken wrote a good explanation of how Lan console works (separate
TCPIP stack at the LIC level) just a few days ago.
HMC on the other hand DOES use the Service Processor, so you have
connection all the time.
If you need to do stuff like power on/off and the like you can configure
one of the HMC ports for your LAN (preferably the management LAN) and just
use the ASMI to do it.

Best Regards,

I must admit that I have little experience with LAN console (or HMC for
that matter.)

Back when I did day to day admin, we had a twinax console.

However was doing some stuff this weekend and notice that the LAN console,
both 5250 session and remote control panel would disappear when the system
was powered down.

I was a bit surprised at this, I expect the remote control panel to remain
available. Especially since I know the service processor in a IBM x86 stays
up when the system is powered down.

Is this working as designed or is something not right in the system?

9407-515 running 7.1

Thanks!
