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.

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.
