Yes, HMCS is supported by z/OS 2.1 and higher.
However the HMC facility was available long before that. z/VM and Linux
were able to use it.
For z/VM it's crucial, since the current installation method (DVD of
ftp) do require use of SYSG (another name for the console).
BTW: If you have HMCS console "stolen" you can easily find the thief
using some HMC facility and even chat with him. Or - if you are ACSADMIN
equivalent you can cancel his session.

The Integrated 3270 Console definitely works remotely. I'm using it now from my
dining room table. A few points:
-- The option is listed on HMC under Recovery (not under Daily). No idea why.
-- You have to define a name for it in CONSOLxx with DEVNUM(HMCS) just as you do
for SYSCONS. Be sure to include &SYSCLONE somewhere in the NAME().
-- The Integrated 3270 can be used as a NIP console.
-- Only one user at a time can open the 3270 console in each LPAR. This might
be an issue for larger shops with multiple operations staff. However, a second
user may 'steal' the console; especially important if the first user has lost
connectivity or cannot otherwise release it.
-- You do not log on or off the 3270 console. You just run it. Similar to
Operating System Messages. When you're finished, you close the window.
We installed the non-Java HMC microcode level installed shortly after I learned
about it at SHARE in San Antonio. That was before we had z/OS 2.1 rolled out,
so I have no experience using 3270 console with Java. I cannot prove this with
doc, but AFAIK the Integrated 3270 never actually worked on MVS before 2.1.
IIRC it did work on z/VM for years before that.

Skip,
Is the HMC 3270 interface available via remote browser access to the HMC? We
are waiting for the happy HMC upgrade that finally puts JAVA to rest.
Yes. It was always available, that means in OS/2 based HMC (1.8), and later
(2.xx) in Java and non-Java flavours.
