Hi,

I've installed HMC (6.2.1), open network, 128.200.91.15, one NIC to p650-6M2 AIX 5.2 (128.200.91.5). I can access HMC remotely, I can ping HMC from AIX and vice versa. I can add AIX from HMC if I use Console | Add host.

But I CAN'T add the AIX if I use Server Management | Add Managed System. It will show fine, but the state is Not Connected. I need this option so I can remotely shut down and power on the server.

hscroot@hmc:~> lssysconn -r all
resource_type=sys,type_model_serial_num=unavailabl e,sp=unavailable,sp_phys_loc=unavailable,ipaddr=12 8.200.91.5,alt_ipaddr=unavailable,state=No Connection,connection_error_code=Connecting 0000-0000-00000000

Unfortunately, the server is in Colo 50 miles away so I can't check the serial cable. IBM support site suggests to reset the processor on managed system, by shutting down the server and unpluging the AC. I can't do that because it is a production system. I've tried restarting the HMC but without any luck.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!
