Re: persistent console in HMC

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.

All HMCs have this port, IBM just suggested for a very long time not to use it. We did anyway as it was simply too useful! We even had one customer who hooked that up and never realized that there was a web interface or the port 2300/1 HMC interface! They complained about how crappy the HMC screen was and how slow it was. When he finally showed me I almost laughed.

So it's there, it just needs to be configured.

As previously mentioned the virtual HMCs are most coolest because you can jump on the console through VMWare for example and establish the session there.
