Hi cdelgadop,
Thanks for confirming that IBM 520 internal serial ports can be used to connect HSM. However i still didnot have any luck in successfully connecting HSM so far and am still struggling.
Well we are not using HMC at all and our setup is quite simple and straigth forward. However our IBM guys said we may not use those ports for connecting HSM. They are saying such connection was possible in IBM 520 P5 only and is not possible in P6 series. Ours is P6. I still dont believe on what IBM saying. Can i have your views on this please?
Just for your info, our HSM configuration is as follows for your perusal.
Message header length: 09 Protocol: Asynchronous Character format: ASCII Terminating Sequence: 03 00 Interface: DCE Response delay (ms): 00 Baud: 9600 Word format: 8 bits, even parity, 1 stop
Appreciate if you can share any more information in solving the problem.
One more thing, is there any utility in
AIX 5.3 to check whether the ports are functioning or not.
