RE: Remote upgrade of iSeries

["Harvell, Joel" <jbharvell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use Visara's Icon devices as our console devices. They connect to the AS400 
via twinax and they have an Ethernet connection so I can log into them via our 
intranet.  We load all our CUMs to a Virtual Catalog from CDs.    I've 
installed PTFS many times but I've not done operating system upgrade. Yet...  
V5R4 will be the first. We are in the process of moving our Test and 
development boxes (270s) to a new partitioned box (520).  I love the HMC.  The 
only thing about the Visara is that I can't of course see the operator panel.  
With the HMC I can do everything but change tape and DVDs.  If IBM invents a 
little robot to do that for me, I'd never have to go into work!!

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,
