RE: VIOS Console session

Roberto,

Thanks for showing us that.

What I really need to understand is why our friends in Austin cannot for
some reason get it through their heads that it could be delivered this way
or change to the shell that 90% of the Unix community uses. The HMC is
the exact same. If it's easier to use, then the guys on the other equipment
and UNIX varieties (who do not have these issues) would be more prone to
acceptance maybe?

Oh well I just pay IBM for hardware, software, and support, so I'm just a
customer. I guess I just don't understand and therefore don't matter.

One thing I use in ALL my VIOS installs or updates is:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1021067
Handy tip to manage the backspace key, to get history functionality (with
the up and down keys) and most important, know what VIOS you are working on.
I also use Putty for all my ssh needs, and with the config mentioned above I
don't need to change terminal settings.
Best Regards,
Roberto

I don't know why they insist on the Korn shell. If you started VI
mode you can get much closer to the behavior you want. Now if they
would put the BASH shell in, that would eliminate 90% of my complaints

with VIOS.

Just used my normal putty client again. When I go direct into vios my
backspace key continues to work as a destructive backspace.
However when I go into my hmc and then use vtmenu to get into vios my
backspace inserts some sort of control character. Rather frustrating
when you are entering in a long command and get a typo.
