Re: Question on New HMC/V7R3...

Multiple issues here.

One, you should not be losing your shared session on your HMC. Unless you
IPL the whole rack (is this a single lpar system?). That being said, I am
experiencing a loss of a shared session quite frequently. I'm at HMC 9
but on x86.

Two, what you are seeing is because your system allows "console takeover".
This is kind of a good thing. Picture this. You're running a dedicated
full system save which may take hours. You lose your console session,
even on the HMC. What the heck, let's say you even reboot your HMC. Now,
since you have this "console takeover" you can still reconnect and the job
will not be interrupted. The save had no idea there was an issue and
continued on. But, if having this capability is not worth the fact that
you are seeing change, and we all know that change is evil, then you can
disable console take over.
