Re: iSeries Operations Console

So far, not working yet. Sent him a second dump a few minutes ago.
Tomorrow is another day.

I can definitely appreciate an HMC, based on the "fun" of entering
65+21+11 so many times I lost count. Was also a bit tedious cricking
my neck to see the display.

From past experience, I learned they are great. I have a CE story

from 40 years ago that still leaves me impressed with their
capabilities - especially under stressful situations. Fortunately,
this is not a down system issue.

Time to leave. Adventure continues tomorrow morning.....

The guy at IBM that handles many Ops Console calls is just awesome at fixing whatever problem you may have. He has saved me twice so far!

You can always call IBM, that's what you pay SWMA for, that said, if you
have the Operations Console code loaded on you PC, and a physical
connection to the LAN console port then you should be able to use the
icon to create a connection. That dialog is reasonably simple although I
can understand some confusion the first time through.

Pete's note are very good to describe what's going on.

I'm still confused. Boss suggests calling IBM. That seems like a
waste of time - unless something on the computer is broken. Which
doesn't appear to be the case.

The address that you configure is the TCP/IP address for the LAN Console Ethernet port on your PowerSystems machine. If this is running, you should be able to ping this from the PC you are connecting from. Is the PC directly connected to this port or goes through a switch, you should still be able to ping it.
