Re: Applying firmware

Justin,
When using a non-partitioned Lan-console'ed machine I always recommend
cabling the HMC port and having access to the ASMI interface. It's the only
way to recover from a "RESTART *NO" situation without having to be next to
the machine.

we have a LAN console is because IBM stopped making hardware with Twinax

been a cold day in hell when my boss willingly gave up Twinax of any kind.

I had forgotten about the Virtual Control Panel. I've never had a use for
it.

Ok, breaking news. You did NOT buy a LAN Console for the sole reason
because IBM made you when they started making models without twinax support.
LAN Console has more than 5250 support. They also have a GUI interface.
On that GUI interface they have something which looks like your Power
server front panel. Complete with Mode button, power button, etc. Figure
out how to use that.
