Operations Console doesn't connect via the ASMI interface ports (HMC1 &
HMC2). You will need to use the regular Ethernet ports on your Power6 box.

Subject: RE: ASMI and changing IP address
Hi Chris,
I do not have an IBM HMC.
I have a Windows 2008 Server connected:
192.168.2.20/24 -> directly to HMC1 Port configured as 192.168.2.147/24
192.168.5.12/24 -> switch, no longer connected to the iSeries
Serial -> Serial on iSeries
No software firewall enabled
ASMI over Serial works.
ASMI over http does not work
ASMI over https does not work
From the serial interface, I reset the HMC ports back to factory.
I am able to ping 192.168.2.147 from the host windows box, so the cables are
labeled correctly.
In the ASMI, I do not see any way for me to configure the other LAN ports
(T6 and T7 I think), not sure why that is? Maybe I have to set that up in
the operations console?
As a note, when I try to open the ops-con against 192.168.2.147 it never
loads, it just says that it is trying to connect. Is it supposed to be able
to work on the HMC ports addresses??
Thanks
-- Jake

Jake,
Do you have a Hardware Management Console from IBM? If so, is that the
windows pc you referred to in an earlier post?
What I think you have is:
On the iSeries, HMC1 and HMC2 plugged into a switch and have the IP
address:
HMC1 = 192.168.5.250
HMC2 = 192.168.16.30
You refer to a Windows PC, would that we the IBM HMC PC?
You mention that LAN1 is into a switch and has an IP of 192.168.5.12
And that LAN2 is directly plugged into HMC2 with an IP of 192.168.16.20.
What are your subnet masks?
Again what your windows PC shows as LAN1 and LAN2 may be different that
what is labeled on the hardware.
Did you ever try reversing the cables?

Hi Chris,
I am confused as well. This should have been a routine IP change and the
web-based ASMI should continue to respond.
So I can connect using S1 and will reset the IP back to factory. Maybe
that will get me back to the start.
We are in San Diego, CA, pretty far south from you.
You were very helpful, thank you for that!
