We have an older HMC (7042-CR4) and have a Q about creating/maintaining persistent console sessions.Besides comments from other contributors, I would say yes.
The HMC and two IBM I systems are in a rack at a far away data center (somewhere in the cloud).
We have VPN access to the HMC for system management of three LPARs on two systems.
Do the console sessions have to be created locally on the HMC as shared sessions to be persistent?
Correct.
Yes, we can use ACS to connect to a console session on an LPAR.
But what happens if we lose our VPN connection.
It appears that the console session is lost.
If we create the console sessions as shared from the HMC itself in the data center then they remain no matter if we lose our connection or not.Unfortunately not applicable for you, but maybe in the future. If you can move to a POWER based HMC (like the 7063-CR1 or CR2), you will have the opportunity to set a BMC IP address. This BMC functionnality allows you to take remote control on the HMC and, for instance, start a shared local 5250 console session, just like if you were physically close to the device.
What is best practice here?
Thx,
Jerry
