I use the HMC and the "Operating System Messages" ICON. I don't have any NIPCONS, so I IPL and monitor from the HMC until I can get an SMCS console going.
If you do have a 3270 type console, why not record the console on your cell phone camera? It is a bit small. So, get a tablet. Might take two people. One to do the IPL, the other to keep the console in focus. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
