Up to now, with OS/2-based HMCs attached to z900, we made use of the
Netscape browser to connect from one HMC to the other. This was quite
convenient for us, as we have the first HMC at hand, while the other one is
away from us.
However, with z9 and the new linux+java-based HMC we don't have this
capacity (or we haven't been able to make it work). We know how to enable
Remote Operation at the second HMC, but we have no access to a web browser
at the first one.
IMHO it is one of the features which were *IMPROVED*.
Indeed, previously HMC was an application on regular OS/2 based
workstation. The other application was Netscape (quite ancient version
unfortunately). (*)
In fact I almost never use HMC directly, usually I access HMC from web
browser on my desktop PC. This functionality was even improved on z9.
Or, maybe I should admit that "local view" is as ugly as remote. <g>
However new HMC better supports multiple session.
So, you can access HMC from a browser, but not necessarily from a
browser on HMC desktop.
(*) The most stupid thing you can do is to access "remote desktop" on
local HMC. You see full screen in a window of the same screen.
Fractal-like effect.
