RE: Running out of twinax consoles...

Yes you can. There's two normal configurations. One involves a "private"
lan where basically your HMC is hooked up to the FSP on your rack(s) and
nothing else. The other is they are both on the WAN. Sometimes it takes
a few raps to the head of your local CE(s) to get them to accept the
second. And a few CE's are known to carry a cheap router and a few cables
to create a private lan between the HMC and the FSP for when they are
onsite during certain major upgrades.
What we do is keep a HMC, on the WAN, at each site. Therefore we get
redundant HMC's. Each HMC can control all systems.
