Re: Connection issues after a move - SOLVED

Finally sorted out the HMC ports (T2 for some reason). Looked at the
System, it was "Operating" but the IBM i *partition* hadn't been
activated. Once I started it, I was back on.

Note to self: Take a picture of the back of the system before pulling
the cables and moving it.....

Thanks Jack.

There is no DHCP running on this "network". The network consists of a
5 port switch that has 4 ports connected to the IBM i and one port
routed to my laptop. Nothing else on the "network" All the IP's were
statically assigned, including the laptop, and have been assigned for
years. No changes in the move at all.

The goal is to get to the console to start the TCP/IP stack (I
think). Not sure why I am having issues. Usually I can connect to
the console and start stuff that isn't running. HMC is available but
can't seem to get the console to connect from there.

So, the IBM i sits at 10.0.10.140. Laptop is at 10.0.10.50 Nothing in
between but cabling. Can't ping 10.0.10.140. So, I either have a
cabling issue or, somehow, a network issue. I can't remember if the
system settings automatically start TCP/IP.

How do you know the IBM i is configured for 10.0.10.140? Are you in
via an HMC or direct cabling to confirm that?

If it doesn't start TCP/IP automatically, how would you normally
bring up the system? With an HMC?

Did you just set up your laptop for 10.0.10.50? Is that DHCP? Is the
IBM i DHCP or did you choose the address?

If the IBM i configures via DHCP, your DHCP server will know if it is
up.
