Re: Remote console options

You can definitely do this.

It probably is a routing/network issue.

Ok, another HMC question. I have a HMC physically attached (in a rack)

to

our local machine with 4 LPAR's. Can I use that HMC as well to attach

to a

remote (not in our building) iSeries to manage that one as well? I

added

that system to the managed servers in the HMC, but it is not

connecting.

Is this an IP routing issue (along with plugging an ethernet cable into
the HMC port) or something that just can not be done?
Thanks.

Subject: RE: Remote console options

I know that both Rob and I are both big fans of the HMC, but I do

like

both
LAN Console and the HMC for different reasons.

My preference would Always be an HMC, even on a single partition
machine,
but it is more expensive than a PC running LAN Console and it does
require
some additional maintenance. We are talking about an hour of
maintenance a
quarter keeping up to date with versions, releases, and service

packs.

HMC
is great. I like the connectivity of the HMC better as well.

For a single partition machine, I always install LAN Console with two
Ethernet cards in the PC. One Ethernet card direct to the AS/400
(Ethernet
port T5 if it's a 520), and the 2nd Nic out to the Clients Network.
This is
cheap, and I can usually have the customer get a PC from their

inventory

as
it doesn't need to be a brand new 3.0 ghz PC. It just needs to be a
simple
Windows XP Pro pc.
