We did migrate profiles with USB stick, but OSA setup was done remotely. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Laurence Chiu Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 12:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: (External):Re: Remote access to Z14 ZR1 Support Element via HMC question
Well I don't know what the techs did but they managed to access the z14 HMC, copy across LPAR, IOCDS etc. and we've successfully IPL'ed a couple of LPARs from the same DS8870 that our zBC12 uses. That's progress, But now we are finding that we cannot access the OSA-ICC for remote access. The user gets the logon screen but cannot progress. I wonder if it's because the LU name or client IP hasn't been defined in the session table?
