Jim,
Are you stating that you ALWAYS connect to your iSeries using port 2300, workstation HMC, default user of Q#HMC.
Currently, I only use this when going to restricted state, upgrades, etc.
Other maint, I use a normal Client Access session.

A few years ago after V7R1 came out I did four separate V5R4 to V7R1 upgrades at the same time from my couch during the Super Bowl. (each customer had its own VMWare session on my laptop so I had four VPNs started at once)
The remote HMC session is what made that possible. I suppose it could have been done other ways too, but the HMC made it too easy.

Paul,
Again, you're talking about a session that is not your system console session.
If you use a 'shared' not a 'Dedicated' session on your HMC, you can connect it remotely over your VPN, drop remotely, reconnect, and get right back in.
I do it regularly. Dedicated system saves, PTF's, IPL's, RCLSTG, etc.

If doing maintenance over VPN from remote PC, and connection drops for what ever reason, it probably will impact your maint (Save, PTF, etc).
Sometimes you can't reconnect with the same Client Access secession.
Over the years, this has occurred several times.
Below has resolved all issues.
1) VPN in to corporate network.
2) Remote desktop from remote PC to locale PC.
3) Open required Client Access and/or HMC sessions as needed.

Why is that 'better yet'?
I can see that maybe for lan console or some such thing.
Or if you didn't want to run from the system console. But, he WAS talking about a GO SAVE 21.
