RE: Running out of twinax consoles...

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm waiting until they produce a thin console that's as reliable as twinax.
I've had two clients return theirs and have gotten free twinax cards in
exchange

James,

Seems to me IBM is telling us to have our console on the same network as the
server - as in an HMC.

IBM offers thin console to replace twinax console, and that has to be next
to the server - but thin console is an option, not a requirement..
