RE: Remote upgrade of iSeries -- MIDRANGE-L

HMC shared session can be iSeries Access 5250, not just Putty.  Makes it
a lot easier to use.

See here: http://tinyurl.com/fas6c

Also, to get the HMC GUI downloaded to your PC, go to this link:

Lan console and Op's console both require a PC Anywhere type of
solution.

The HMC shared session simply requires a download of a free Putty
client. 
I think I have a faq or something somewhere on how to set this up.

I want to set up, but haven't yet, the full GUI remotely.  Others on the
list have done so.  This will allow us to fully start a downed lpar.  Or
the whole blinking rack itself.

One thing to keep in mind is that not only do you need to keep your
i5/os lpars up to date with ptf's etc, but you also need to upgrade your
FSP firmware.

Thanks Rob, always forget about that one as I tend to lump it in with
LAN Console.

IIRC, you'd need PC-Anywhere or the equivalent to remotely access the PC
running Ops-Console correct?

What about LAN console?  Does it make since to use PC anywhere there
too?  Kind of like using an HMC shared session?

Let's not forget Operations Console.  Always amazed how they 
get that much 
of iSeries Access going on a machine in totally restricted state.

RE: Remote upgrade of iSeries

Ah, your manager needs to look again at the manuals.

If your box is in restricted state, you won't be able to 
connect to it 
using Management Central or any other part of iNav.

You need remote access to the console
1) HMC
2) LAN Console
3) twin-ax card in a PC with PC-Anywhere.

HTH,

Thanks everyone, very interesting suggestions.  Our manager 
thinks this can
be done with management central any thoughts.

Hello everyone,

Has anyone been involved in version/release upgrade from a 
central site
to a remote site.  The company I work for is contemplating

doing this

for some of our customers.

Sincerely,
Bill Swann
