Re: ASMI access - problematic

If you were unable to connect with the IP address given by the “30” routine, then it’s about 90% one of the following:

The IP address of the PC was not manually set to be in the range with the HMC port, with the same netmask and using the HMC port as a gateway.
— or —
The firewall on the PC is active and blocking connectivity.

it should work. on the front panel, function 30 shows the HMC port
addresses. my power 8 showed 10.0.0.4 . Connected the LAN cable from a
windows PC direct to the HMC1 port of the server. On the windows PC I set
to "use the following IP address": 10.0.0.2 . Once that was set I could
ping 10.0.0.4. Then use chrome to connect to https://10.0.0.4 That
brought up the ASMI web page.

The problem is that it seems impossible to access the ASMI interface using
any method we have tried. I will explain:



The client has used the buttons on the control panel to find the IP-address
for HMC-1. This address was different from the default in the documents
IBM-support has provided.



Using that a laptop has been connected with an ethernet cable to the HMC-1
port. Following this the ip address has been entered in a browser (tried
both https and http) as described in documents.



Result - Nothing!



This problem has dragged on for a while now and there do not seem to be any
more options available.
