RE: small i5 recommendations

When is IBM going to add a management module to the iSeries like they
have on the Blade Centers?  Web in to see status, control partitions,
get an 5250 telnet session, run Ops Nav, and what ever else you can do
with LAN console.  LAN console is very close to this but requires
software pre-installed.  (Perhaps better for security.)  I am beging to
believe LAN console is the way to go.

You get a twinax card standard, why not a twinax terminal ???
It doesn't sound like those folks will need or want any changes that
require a special console.

My install last week was the "exact" same system and they are doing
wonderful with a twinax terminal that they don't know is the "console".

I would NOT spend the money on a HMC or a "thin" console.
