RE: HMC or LAN Console

Hasn't twinax been end-of-lifed yet??  Can't come too soon, IMHO.

And once again, my reply is "twinax sucks".  In order to resolve an
issue on my development lpar I had to run
- a RCLSTG with some traces turned on.
- RTVDSKINF
- another RCLSTG with other traces turned on.
- IPL
Using an HMC and a "shared" session, I ran this all from the comfort of
my living room.

Re: HMC or LAN Console







We are avoiding twinax because of the need for using the console from
either location.  The ability to perform a dedicated console function
from
the outside would be rarely used, but would be nice in a pinch.

Are twinax tubes an option? Ops console? Do you need to reach in from
the
outside to perform dedicated system functions?

HMC or LAN Console








For a non-LPAR shop running 3 different 520s in 2 different locations (2
at
one site and 1 at the other), would you choose an HMC or a LAN Console
setup?  Reliability, security, and managability are the main concerns
rather than a difference in cost.
