You may have just defined your problem. The HMC RMC connection is sensitive
to the firmware levels and fixpacks.
As I recall, that combination was OK, but occasionally provided some grief.
You can call IBM and most likely they will have you run some CLI commands
that will re-establish the connection. I have it in my notes somewhere, but
that was long ago so it might be hard to find.

When you saw the RMC issue, were you able to reestablish the RMC
connections? If so, what did it take to reestablish them. My 8286-41A is
running SV810_159 FW810.50, with HMC version 8.6.3 SP 3.
I know, I need to get current on firmware. But, if I remember correctly,
the next firmware level says we need to be current on HIPER PTFs. And,
we're way behind on PTFs. To make a long story less long, after our initial
three year maintenance contract our business partner dropped a line item off
of the renewal, which went unnoticed. Hardware support was renewed, but
software support wasn't. We've been trying to get that straightened out,
but at the moment we don't have software support.
