There are some variables (such as how you have the HMC set up), but the only thing I've found that you cannot do remotely is configure HMC security and go into service mode (CE mode).
Pretty powerful tool. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neal Eckhardt Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 2:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: HMC question on z9 (through listserver this time) Ok, we just got a z9, and I'm browsing through the HMC stuff. I have accessed the HMC application through my web browser so I can capture some screen prints for updated documentation. While playing around, I tried to IPL my test system remotely. I got the message: The target does not have service status, but disruptive task is in service role. This cryptic message doesn't tell me much. Is it possible to IPL remotely or is that my problem? Thanks, -- Neal Elected officials should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers. That way it would be easier to identify their corporate sponsors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
