Re: ASMI Port ?

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

jack,
#1 Lan Console attaches to the first port of the base Ehternet card, Port
T1.
#2 To access AMSI you do use either of the HMC ports so there should be a
conflict that way.
#3 Once you have accessed AMSI via the default IP address, they can be
changed.

We do number #3 when we cross connect HMCs between locations to give us
reduntant HMC access to a system.

Unles someone beats me to it, I will gen a set of steps and post them here,
but it will be later today before I can get that done.
