Re: PCAnywhere for the HMC.

As long as you do a shared console session, the session will survive random
and intentional disconnects. I've done this from home: Connect via VPN,
start a session, start an OS upgrade (or RCLSTG or GO SAVE/21), make sure
it's at a point where it'll take a while, then close the 5250 session and
maybe close the VPN connection. Whenever I check on it, I just re-enter the
shared session password and it's as if I never left.

Shared sessions are also good (although not perfect) if you want to watch or
instruct someone else remotely. Both of you can log in and the person
observing can't see what the person leading is typing but they do get the
screen transitions and updates.

I really like the remote capability of V7 of HMC. However, is there
something like PC Anywhere or Dameware that will run on it?

I usually run IBM's 5250 emulation off one of our terminal servers.
This way, even if a i lose the VPN connection, the Console session
will stay up on the TS.

However, i suppose that's not an option for you. Another way would be
to install a RSA II Slimline Adapter into the HMC, and then access the
HMC's display using a web browser.

Or plug the HMC into an IP KVM.
