The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
If you're using a HMC always make it a "shared session" and never a
"dedicated session".
Did you configure "Console Takeover"?

8. Work with Service Tools Server Security and Devices
2. Select console
Allow console recovery and console can be taken
over by another console . . . . . . . . . 1 1=Yes, 2=No
I HIGHLY recommend 1=Yes.
I had one person on the list who did not like this as whenever you start
the console the user has to also enter a SST user id and password. I guess
it's easy to create a SST user with just enough authority to do this. It's
easy enough to update run documentation for the person doing the backup
from the system console to handle this. But to each his own.
For example, we have an IT guy who runs our month end process from his
home. Occasionally his comm line drops. If he runs the process from the
remote console it's no problem.
With Console Takeover enabled I can reboot my HMC during a long running
full system save and it will not be interrupted.
