Will any of the chrome ssh plugins work? Or are they restricted also.

Here's the one drawback to 'ssh into the HMC.':
Normally this involves loading up a putty client. No big deal for
most of us,
especially those in the systems admin class of people who need to do
this
stuff. However, I have this coworker... He's more of a systems
analyst with
some development. He helps me out during downtimes. Covers a shift
or
so. (My instructions are extremely detailed.) This coworker uses a
virtual
desktop instead of his own PC or laptop. The VDI group he is in does
not
come with a putty client. This is where getting to it with a web
browser
helps.

Now, if there's a standard client which comes with Windows 10 instead
of
having to download a putty client, I'm all ears.

The paperwork with getting a new VDI group just so this guy can have a
putty
client is to the point that I want to work with them if I could
instead of just
bulling my way.

ssh into the HMC.
vtterm
start console. You are the console at that point from the HMC, so
change
IP address to your heart's content.

how is that hard? I never use the console window through the HMC GUI.
Aside from it being awful, half the time it does not work.

The browsers are just going to get in the way.

Ok, I know that you can use a putty client to go to your VIOS lpar

TCP/IP by stopping/starting the system, changing the IP address,
etc.

I know that you can either physically use your HMC, or use a KVM,
and
get
a console session that way. And that's good.

I thought that you used to be able to go to https://yourhmc and open
a
VIOS console session that way. However whenever I try that a tab
opens
on
my console which says "Open Terminal Window". If I click on that
tab I
only get:

not
support 'Switch To'. Please use the window switching capabilities

local windows to 'Switch To' the window for this task.

Ok, if I use IE I can get it to work. I just have to answer the pop
ups
right.

I must have something configured wrong in Chrome. If anyone can
tell me
what, I'd appreciate it.
Same issue with Edge.
Same issue with FF.
