RE: does BCS JS12 have an HEA card or LAN adapter card?

You are going to use the HEA to Bridge a connection.

First, when you did the MKTCPIP (bunch of parms for ip address, GW, Subnet
mask, host name, etc) under VIOS that was the name and address for VIOS to
use with IVM under ent0 which will use en0. Now you have connectivity via
IVM.

Create your partition, get your LUNs you assigned, etc

Then under IVM, under Host Ethernet Adapters, select properties, select
first port (like T6) and ALLOW Virtual Ethernet Bridging . Then make sure
the new partition is on VLAN1. Then bridge the first embedded Ethernet port
to Ethernet VLAN1.
Then you do LAn console as you would normally do. Remember, it will have a
different IP address than the VIOS, than the regular connection use for
Client Access, etc.

Subject: does BCS JS12 have an HEA card or LAN adapter card?

I called IBM for tech support on LAN console. The i5/OS LAN console
tech confirmed what Lukas had said, that the Host name and ip address
have to be different than the VIOS host name and ip address. During
the call the tech said LAN console had to connect to an "HEA" card or
"lan adapter" card that is presumably a part of the hardware running
the i5/OS. He said since he knows nothing about blades and that
machine type 7998 of the JS12 blade is not a machine type his group
supports, he cant help me with that part of my problem.

The question is, does the JS12 have an HEA or LAN adapter card? And
is it the IP address of that adapter card that is used when configing
LAN console on my PC?

thanks,
