Re: HMC Question

Yes that keyboard is a little whacky.

Just to bring in the geezer factor.  Due to rack space considerations 
there is no separate numeric keypad.  But you will notice there is a 
numlock key.  The numbers overlay certain letters on the keyboard (like I, 
J, K, L).  Some of the old geezers will remember keypunch machines, etc 
that did the same.  However, in this jerked over Linux machine, the 
Numlock simply turns off processing of those alphabetic keys and does not 
turn on the numerics.  Hitting numlock again restores function to the 
letters.  This same keyboard works great with Windows.

Re: HMC Question











The HMC itself is all self contained.  It comes with a flat panel display,
mouse and a weird keyboard.  That's great, I have to master another
keyboard.  You must set up the HMC first and then set up the system.  The
instructions omit this fact.  So the sequence is put everything together,
apply power to the display, power up the HMC.  Then, and only then do you
apply power to the i5!

You can also set up so that you can drive it remotely through a browser,
but you must set up your security properly for this.

With the new HMC for controlling LPAR's, does it require a keyboard,
video, mouse physical connection or does it do everything over Ethernet?
Or both?  Basically, how do you connect to and interact with it?

Thanks

Mark
