Re: Remote power up of System i 520

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think this will work and says about $10K for an HMC...
Find the default AMSI/HMC port IP addresses for your system
Attach a laptop to which ever HMC port you choose using the same IP subnet
as the port you are attaching to
Open a browser session and log in to AMSI
Set the other HMC port to an address that is compatible with your local
network including Gateway address
Cable up that port up to the local network and access AMSI
In there I believe you can Power Up the Managed System.
