Keep in mind that when they go to Power 7 you will NOT have a twinax
console. You have a choice of either a LAN console on a PC or the HMC.
For a single LPAR system LAN console might not be bad because you can run
multiple applications on it. It's nice being able to copy and paste from
your system to/from email and other applications. Something I do with a
remote session to my HMC, daily.
However, you mentioned keeping complexity to a minimum. Either one
represents some complexity. The question becomes balancing perceived
complexity versus benefits. Remembering, that most complexity is in the
initial setup, which should be done before you retire. And if a new IT
person (boss' nephew who must know computers because he kicks tail on
XBox) comes in and upgrades your Lan Console PC to a new version of
windows without upgrading i Access (or adds an incompatible
application)... There IS something to be said for security by obscurity.
