RE: SAVE 21 remote hmc and pc energy saver

Paul,

Yes that works too, but now you need a PC somewhere. You can accomplish the
same thing with just the HMC.

With LAN Console, they the technique you suggest is the best way.

Better yet, whenever we remote in for maint, we remote desktop to a PC
within the data center or local network, then open any needed sessions from
that PC.
If you remote session fails, local PC which is doing all the work continues
to process without issue.

Yes.

So set up a console session on the HMC. Leave it on the sign on screen.

Later connect to port 2300 of the HMC with a 5250 emulator, and sign on.
You will see the job in both places. Sign on a second, third, fourth, ....
time. You will see the same job on all the sessions. As the screen is
updated by the host, all of the sessions will be updated at the same time.

So the process is leave each of your partitions set with a signon screen at
the physical HMC. Only use the remote 5250 session to do your work and
you'll not have the described problem again. Other processes are not as
forgiving as a full system save.

Jim,

So if set up your steps, when he went to the physical hmc, if he signed on
it would pick up the running SAVE21, (or the SAVE 21 would have been running
on the HMC)?

Yep, IBM thought of that problem.

That's why I insist that all my customers start a console session on
the physical HMC for each partition and just leave it without signing
on. That way when you use a remote connection the local HMC
connection is also started and remains in place in the event of a
remote communications failure to the HMC.

Our admin ran a save21 from his laptap remoted into hmc.
All was running well till laptop energy saver blacked out the display.
Was an hour into it.
He went to HMC and had blank screen for console.

Used web access of tape library to monitor activity.
Save 21 kept running, and tape drive was set to autoload. Not using BRMS.
V7r1
It kept running (3 more hours, including load of 2nd tape) and
completed the save 21 In previous releases I've seen this fail. The
CPF5080 has "ignore"
thoughout log.
