Re: New HMC look: how to dynamically lpar

"IBM i partitions that **WISH TO HAVE** the service tools LAN adapter (in other words, LAN console) on a different adapter than the partition TCP interface for availability and service concerns.

(face palm)

Does ANYONE EVER share that adapter??? Just asking because it makes *ZERO sense to me to do that when virtual adapters are 'free'.

And has anyone actually tried to add a virtual interface in enhanced+ GUI to a new VLAN? It seems FABULOUSLY UNintuitive to me (and I gave up.) But then again I'm getting close to abandoning the GUI as I grow my command line skills there.

What exactly is the goal of this new interface? Does anyone know why IBM is pretty so very much effort into making this thing unusable?

I'll throw this out there and I've already asked to have it fixed. It is not possible through the HMC Enhanced GUI to add a second virtual Ethernet adapter on the same VLAN as an existing adapter. Here is Note 1 from document N1020484.

The enhanced GUI does not allow multiple virtual adapters on the same "network". Multiple adapters on the same network (VLAN) may be desired for some configurations such as IBM i partitions that wish to have the service tools LAN adapter (in other words, LAN console) on a different adapter than the partition TCP interface for availability and service concerns. The circumvention is to use the command line or the "classic" GUI.

Right I pointed that out but you cannot select columns as before. You cannot select rows, as before. The columns are wider than the spruce goose. They cannot be adjusted. I have three 4K Screens PLUS a fourth wide-screen in front of me. Stretching the screen just makes wwwwiiiiidddddeeeeerrrrr columns. And where are my groups? Our partitions are very logically grouped. Well they were anyway. Yep gotta rebuild my groups. And who moved the scroll bar? It's not at all where I would expect it. And sorting? Yea bunches of our partition start with lower case i. And thus they sort separately from those that start with upper case letters. Who thinks up this stuff???

When managing MANY Partitions on MANY systems I cannot waste my day attempting to FIND what it is I am attempting to manage!

Back to my regularly scheduled classic interface.... Ahhhhh....

Finding LPARs in the
massive list of chicklets is a pain in the butt.

You don't have to have the "chicklets" view. Look at the upper right
corner of the display. Click the icon that looks like a bunch of
lines, kinda like

or the one that looks like

Either will give the table list of the LPARs like classic.
