Parwez:
Thanks for the detailed info. ]I haven't personally seen the HMC for
some time as I provide remote support. I know it is a mini-tower, so I
guess it is the 8485, which should hopefully have an expansion slot or
more for a replacement or additional ethernet adapter card. I am going
to have someone at the university take a look before I go over there
later this week to fix the problem and do some other physical work. I am
able to access the HMC itself remotely so that connection is good, but
the connection to the HMC-SE LAN is the one that is failing, as I cannot
access SE functions, such as single object operations from the HMC. And
I found a hardware message indicating the adapter failure.

Mike,
2827-HA1 is the machine type and model for the z9 itself. That's no good. What
is required is the same info for the PC which has the HMC code.
My guess is the machine type is likely to be 8141 (Feature Code 0079) or 8485
(Feature Code 0081). 8141 is a desktop PC and the 8485 is a 'mini tower' PC.
Both had a single Ethernet port on the motherboard as standard. If these were
supplied with dual Ethernet configurations (at the time customers had a option
of Token Ring also) then the 2nd port would have been supplied as a Ethernet
adapter in one of the expansion slots.
Unless someone in your data centre knows better, it will have to be a physical'
check of the HMC.
