If you select "Enable fastpath" on the HMC Option screen, this will skip the select system and partitions screen and take you to the shared or dedicated connection screen.

Subject: Re: ACS console via HMC
Hello Gerald,
Am 31.01.2025 um 15:57 schrieb Gerald Magnuson <gmagqcy.midrange@xxxxxxxxx>:
there are about 8 screens we have to navigate before getting a console signon screen.
is there something to reduce this?
I'm not aware of any possibility. Maybe a nod to "Fortress Rochester". ;-)
Even if you use a 3rd party 5250 emulator, and connect to port 2300 of the HMC, it's
- Select language
- Provide management console credentials
- Pick a machine
- Pick a LPAR
- Provide local credentials to sign on
For 7.3. For 7.2, after picking the LPAR, there are further screens:
- Provide DST credentials
- Show Console Information Status screen, press F10 for Takeover console connection
- Confirm Takeover Console Connection From Another User
- Provide local credentials to sign on
Maybe there might be some DST settings I'm not aware of to skip the additional screens for 7.2.
All in all, it's just a nuisance, because I don't need console access that often.
But yes, for me, walking to the 5250 twinax terminal next room to access my 150 is certainly quicker. ;-)
:wq! PoC
