RE: Virtual HMC... running in a VMware host. improving appearance

There's three schools of thought.

School 1: Either use a separate port or vlan to go from your HMC to your Power system than you use for connecting to your HMC from your intRAnet. Apparently some people feel more secure this way. It's ok for all workers to physically connect to the OS with payroll and other data but a sin to have it so they can get to the address of the Power system management port.

School 2: Use one port and the same subnet. Makes it easier for the HMC's to be redundant to multiple machines. Also, if you need to connect directly to the management port with the HMC (ASMI perhaps) then you can.

School 3: Isolate it completely. Oh, you want your HMC to connect to IBM to report hardware issues? You want to be able to download HMC patches? Oh you want to be able to use your HMC to download firmware patches? Well you can forget that stuff.

Apparently you are in school 3. It was a bad decision. Fix it.

yes, that looks wonderful...
we put this into a private sub-net, why I can't remember..., so we need to use the Vcenter...

yes, I am using the web UI... My browser tab (chrome) is a big
rectangle, but my window and desktop are taking up only 1/4 the space
in the bottom middle...

hi Gerald,

We have systems running with vHMC on Hyper-V, VMWare and VirtualBox.
Yes, Virtualbox and Hyper-V are unsupported, but run smoothly.
What do you need? You mean you don't like the Web UI (Enhanced+ )?

does anyone here have the vHMC? placed on a VMware server?
