Re: LPAR remote console

["Jeffrey Silberberg" <jsilberberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neil,

        I would look at the functions in the OPS Console these days,
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/oper_nav/index.html
I think every thing you need is built in, (or coming next month) and then
combine the product with something like
the NetSupport manager product from http://www.netsupport-inc.com

        It might be a good idea to setup IP subnets for each system, and one
for the
OPS console PCs so that your routing is simple.  Lastly, while I have yet to
see
one, at least one manufacturer of KVM switches is rumored to be going to use
IP as the
controlling keyboard/screen/mouse allowing remote control of PC server
Farms.
