Hello Jim,

The newest version of the HMC did not include some of the granularity in security that we enjoyed in the past. For instance, we can set up users that can stop/start only their partitions and start a console session, however we can no longer restrict them from seeing other partitions on the system, or all of the hardware. (Used to be able to do that)

Thanks for elaborating. I'm still at Version 8 something.

I think IBM is talking to a very narrow group of users when doing the design of the HMC software, and there is little or no representation from IBM i on that panel. They asked for input at PowerUp a few years ago but the slide was up/down so fast you could not copy down the URL. It was not in the handout that I could find.

Interestingly, IBM seems to not realize that with the increasing managed service providers, the possibility of a restricted access to a system, plus connection to the console function of HMC would be a great benefit for each and every HMC managed system when being "cloud accessed".

:wq! PoC
