Re: ASMI Port ?

I have a client who deployed several "pre configured" racks with just this
setup. A 515, a router with an integrated hub which created a network
segment just for the 515 it's LAN console, and the Battery Backup which
was able to be monitored remotely as well. All self contained in a single
rack. The beauty of this is that you can not only power down remotely,
but thanks to the ASMI port you can power back on remotely as well.
They set up an on-line backup from each location to the corporate office,
and now they don't even need anyone to change tapes! Totally lights out!

First LAN console uses a completely different physical port than the HMC
port where you can get to ASMI. You can have both plugged in to your
network and configured. You do not need a HMC to reach AMSI it is nothing
more than a web interface. You can then enter a second IP address on any
PC on the same network segment as the iSeries HMC port and access AMSI by
remoteing to the PC first then browsing to the AMSI IP address

I have a situation where I need to access remote systems ASMI port that

are

not setup to use HMC, they are using LAN Console. The default IP's for

the

ports are shipped as 169.254.2.147 and 169.254.3.147. If you look at

IBM

documentation to access this they always seem to write it up in such a

way

that they expect you to be locat to the machine with a PC locally

attached

and a PC IP on the same network as the default ASMI IP address. Has

anyone

else had an issue with this, if so how did you get around it, unless

there

is an easy way to toggle a system from using LAN Console and then back

to

HMC or vice/versa.
