Manager has some potential. Verify what you really have. Because if you
do have a FSM then there are ways to start your system console sessions on

it, and get remote access to them that's even better than a PC Anywhere
type solution. I know for a fact that HMC has this. Do you have the
model number? Can you snap a picture of the screen and shoot it to me
offlist?

It's an 8202 E4D. There's no HMC or FSM and as it would add more cost to the
system,
not an option, either. I think for the time being I'll plow the route of
looking
at limited access via an Ops Console session even though I'm not comfortable
doing so.

We're not (at present) using much embedded SQL in production, so I don't
believe
the weekly IPL is having much of an impact, but that's interesting to know.
