Re: IBM announces 1U Power based HMC

I think the hub idea comes from IBM battling people like my network guy.

First: Anyone who uses a 'hub' needs to be escorted from the DC and
Sho.... er, um not let back in. :-)

Second: You can do multiples with multiple ports on the HMC one per port
if they are available.
You can do multiples with in your corporate switch
network.
You can do multiples with a private switch that connects
only HMCs and
Power System HMC Ports.
You can do multiples via your corporate network instead
of a private
network.
The choice is yours. I like the VLAN option personally.

What may sound related to a current issue I am working on is this:
<snip>
Management of multiple servers from an HMC might require the use of an
Ethernet hub, which provides a physical connection from the HMC to each
server rather than a logical Ethernet connection over a LAN.

Um, why?
