Re: Remote power up of System i 520

AND if you still can't connect after you get the addresses using Code 30, then "Plan B" is to connect a serial cable (Cisco 'Blue Cable' or similar) at 9600,8,n,1 to one of the serial ports on the back of the machine and lot in to ASMI that way. Now you can also change the IP if needed.

Jeff,

To find out the address of your ASMI port, on the bezel, go to Sequence 30 (will have to be in manual mode first), and the 2 addresses are the HMC1 and HMC2 port respectively.

Don't laugh at this idea.

2 PCs here can function as LAN Console. Each has 2 NIC cards, with the 2nd NIC dedicated to the LAN Console connection. There is a single Linksys switch on top of the System i rack with 3 ethernet cables attached:

1) To the T5 (I think) jack on the System i (10.10.10.1)
2) To my PC (10.10.10.2)
3) To the office manager's PC (10.10.10.3)

This is a completely isolated network. If I run an ethernet cable from the ASMI to that switch and can figure out the IP address of the ASMI, can I just point a browser from my PC to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address? And then I could RDP to my desktop from home and away we go?

I think this will work and says about $10K for an HMC...
Find the default AMSI/HMC port IP addresses for your system Attach a
laptop to which ever HMC port you choose using the same IP subnet as
the port you are attaching to Open a browser session and log in to
AMSI Set the other HMC port to an address that is compatible with your
local network including Gateway address Cable up that port up to the
local network and access AMSI In there I believe you can Power Up the
Managed System.

Short of an HMC, is there any way to remotely power up a System i 520?

I have LAN Console and Remote Control Panel on my desktop at work.
Due

to

power issues last week (low voltage from utility) after a power
outage, I changed QPWRRSTIPL to 0 for no power up when power is restored.

In a future outage that results in my power handling program
shutting

down

the system, I have no recourse to power it up other than 1) drive in
to work, or 2) get an HMC, correct?

I can remote from home to my work desktop, but since the System i is
powered off, there ain't not no Remote Control Panel.

Thanks.
