Re: ASMI and changing IP address

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jacob,

  T6 and T7 are the ports assigned to IBM i, AIX, or Linux partitions. 
They are not available to ASM.
  In ASMI networks Eth0 and Eth1 refer to HMC1 and HMC2 ports 
respectively on the back of the FSP itself.

  What browser are you using to attempt your connections? It has been 
my experience that Firefox works best but recent versions of Chrome may 
also work well. Internet Exploder may not work as well. Generally the 
connection should be started with http:\\ rather than https:\\
