Opened a PMR with IBM about the way the console works on the HMC. 'Back
in the day' there was a session on the HMC somewhere in the background
and if you got disconnected from the HMC that stayed alive. You could
then reconnect. It was awesome. That went away (I think) with version 7.
(Loooong ago.)
This is of course important for long running tasks like system restores,
full saves from the consoles, PTFs perhaps, things like that.
The 'work around' is to keep a shared console open 'somewhere else'
preferably 'very close' to the HMC so that disconnects are unlikely.
You could do so at the HMC itself of course but that requires the
ability to put the old Mark I eyeball on the HMC. Yes the BMC connection
on the 7063 HMC being supported allows this to be done remotely but most
customers don't configure that and even if they do they don't know the
user/password for the thing.
IBM say: "But we gave you console takeover, you're good if you remember
to turn that on!"
*I* say: "But if I get that screen and my password is expired I'm toast."
IBM say: "Correct."
Anyone know if i 7.4 lets you change your password at the takeover screen?
Any other ideas?
