RE: LPAR Windows 2003 server

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They aren't mandatory.  Dell, for instance, has DRAC and ERA
adapters/integration for their servers which basically allows an
intellistation-ish sort of device to act as the Keyboard-Video-Mouse for
numerous Wintels.  I think it's basically an Ethernet-based connection
to the KVM.  They work pretty well for us.  No reason IBM couldn't do
the same (if they don't have it already).

I wonder if the system console for a LPAR windows box would have the
same 
mentality as iSeries Navigator.  Or, would you instead use something
like 
the myriad number of programs out there to take control of a Windows 
session; and never have a system console on that partition?  Currently 
with the ixs cards you plug a terminal, keyboard and mouse into the
back. 
Would you have to have one of those for every Windows partition?
