Hi Kevin,
My answers are embedded below. Thanks, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "W. Kevin Kelley" <wkkel...@optonline.net> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 9:01:36 PM Subject: HMC System Console usage (one more time) I'm being asked one more time by TPTB to determine how the HMC System Console is actually being used by z/OS customers: 1) How many of you have used to it in an emergency as the "console of last resort"? Yes, we have. 2) How many of you have used it to recover OSA attached consoles? We don't have any OSA attached consoles 3) How many of you have no locally-attached consoles and use the System Console to IPL and get you through NIP before transitioning to SMCS consoles (or some other console support requiring Comm Server to be up)? We run all 3270 console devices, all connected to channel attached 3174 controllers. We also run a dedicated, local non-SNA Omegamon console. W.
