Re: Active but Unusable RMC Connections

Roberto,

We only have one HMC. I just double checked their general properties, and
our HMC does know the IP address of each LPAR. This command:

lssyscfg -r lpar -m Server-8286-41A-SNXXXXXXX -F name,rmc_state,rmc_ipaddr

shows their domain names instead of their IP addresses, but pinging their
domain names from the HMC does resolve to the same addresses shown in the
HMC web GUI. And lspartition -dlpar does list both their domain names and
IP addresses.

Roberto,

With my IBM i partitions, if I try to move tape controllers from one LPAR
to
another via the HMC web GUI, or HMC command line with the chhwres command
it
tells me I need to establish an RMC connection before I can do that.

AFAIK HMC doesn't care about RMC connections to IBM i machines. It uses a
comm channel thru the fsp instead. Did they change that also? I've never
seen the RMC connection as OK on my IBM i clients and yet DLPAR works
perfectly...

No software support? You must mean on the HMC. To each his own but
that
seems to me to put the organization at significant risk.

I couldn't agree more. Due to a mix-up with the renewal after our
initial
three year maintenance contract only hardware support was renewed.
We've
been trying to get software support back in place, but the A/P
department
keeps finding reasons to neglect to pay the invoice. It's probably
going
to
take us getting into a situation where we need software support to
force
the
issue. This may be that situation. Since we can't move the tape
library
controllers from one LPAR to another we can only run backups on the
LPAR
they're currently on. And, the LPAR the A/P department uses for their
day
to day work isn't the LPAR they're on at the moment. That will give is
some
negotiating power.
