RE: Spec for New V7R1 Development Machine/Remotely Racked

Then you needed a decent KVM for that figure.  Having a gold plated HMC 
still doesn't solve the shared session issue.

Try this:
Physically walk over to your HMC.  Shutdown any existing 5250 sessions. Do 
not start them back up yet.  Walk back to your desk.  On your pc start a 
shared 5250 session on the HMC.  Start a long running process in that 
session.  While that process is running kill the session.  See if the 
process aborts.  It will.  If, however, you used a KVM to start the 
session (assuming like the OP that you have no physical access to your 
HMC) and then connected to it remotely it would have stayed running.

Now, there is something reminiscent of the S/36 CONSOLE GIVE and the 
CONSOLE TAKE although it's done at the SST level.  I have this set up on 
two lpars.  It's a little weird when you first start up the 5250 session 
because you log into SST before you log on to the 5250.
