Re: small i5 recommendations

When setting up LanConsole a couple of things happen

#1 The device must predefined in SST/DST (this is by name). The only one 
predefined is QCONSOLE
#2 The first time a predefined console attaches a super secret id/pwd is 
created and stored on the PC
        that only the system knows. If another device with the same name 
tries to attach, it can't. 
#3 Each DST/SST profile to be used with Lan Console needs to have the 
authority is use and/or
        take over the console.

I always create a separate SST/DST user profile for each user that needs 
to use console support. That
way you can disable a single user without affecting all the console users

Re: small i5 recommendations







We are in the process of ordering a new 520 and we are also trying to 
figure
out what to get for a console.  A HMC is over kill for our single system 
(no
LPARs).  We are looking at the thin console, but this doesn't offer remote
access.  I would like a console with remote access for system maintenance.
The LAN console sounds like the way to go, but security is an issue.  What
kind of password, user ids or security is there on a LAN console?

Thanks
