RE: SAVE 21 remote hmc and pc energy saver

Yep, IBM thought of that problem.

That's why I insist that all my customers start a console session on the
physical HMC for each partition and just leave it without signing on. That
way when you use a remote connection the local HMC connection is also
started and remains in place in the event of a remote communications failure
to the HMC.

Subject: SAVE 21 remote hmc and pc energy saver

Our admin ran a save21 from his laptap remoted into hmc.
All was running well till laptop energy saver blacked out the display.
Was an hour into it.
He went to HMC and had blank screen for console.

Used web access of tape library to monitor activity.
Save 21 kept running, and tape drive was set to autoload. Not using BRMS.
V7r1
It kept running (3 more hours, including load of 2nd tape) and completed the
save 21 In previous releases I've seen this fail. The CPF5080 has "ignore"
thoughout log.
