I appreciate this discussion is about z13s etc, just wanted you to be aware of SE/HMC changes with the z14 announcement. Additional details in the z14 Technical Guide Redbook - SG24-8451
FTP Support Element through the HMC, Securely via Proxy With this change the SE will no longer directly access FTP servers, but instead will do secure FTP communications between the HMCs and SEs. Secured via IBM-supplied certificates. This enhancement also allows the SEs to remain on a 'Dedicated LAN' between the HMCs and SEs, and the FTP servers can be on the 2nd HMC outward LAN for Problem Call Home, automation, web browsing, etc. FTP to HMC - List of updated tasks System Input/Output Configuration Analyzer Analyze Console Internal Code Change Console Internal Code Save Upgrade Data Configure Backup Settings/Backup Crit.
