Re: Determining the ASMI address on a system without an HMC

And yet all perfectly meaningless.
Let me sum that up. To find the IP address of your ASMI, enter the IP
address of your ASMI into your browser and ...
And, yet, if you don't know the IP address of your ASMI how are you going
to enter the ASMI's IP address into your browser to see what the IP address
of your ASMI is?

Rob,

Just for the heck of it I gave your question to Microsoft's Copilot. Here
is what I got:

(My question) IBM i: How can I determine the ASMI address on a system
without an HMC?
To determine the ASMI (Advanced System Management Interface) address on an
IBM i system without an HMC (Hardware Management Console), you can follow
these steps:

1 Connect your server to a PC or notebook: Use a network cable to
connect your server to a PC or notebook
2 Access the ASMI using a web browser: Open a web browser on your PC or
notebook and enter the IP address of your server
3 Find the ASMI address: The ASMI address is typically the IP address you
used to access the ASMI login page

And it gives me this link:

Tried to use option 30 from VCP (Virtual Control Panel). Easy enough to
get into Manual mode and look at some of the options but not 30. Some
reading leads me to believe that option 30 is only valid if your system

is

in "Standby" mode. Not something I really want to try remotely.

Had a crazy thought that perhaps the address for VCP might be the same as
that for ASMI but a feeble attempt failed. I suppose if one had multiple
LPARs using Lan Console that would be difficult though.
