Hah awesome!
I only have a few hundred punched cards at the moment, need to grab more
once I get the 026 running so I can allow people to play around on it
as-well.
I am located in Cecil County, Maryland.

We actually have an 029 Keypunch operating that we sometimes take to
trade shows and let people play with. We also have bunches of boxes of
cards.

You first need to use the HMC to create a valid IOCP. In the IOCP you
will define an OSA port for ICC usage. Once you have performed a POR
to bring in the new IOCP, you can then configure the ICC, including
the IP address and port number, using the "OSA Specific Functions" on
the HMC.

This is the info I was looking for, thanks!
Powering the beast up now to give it a whirl.

Thanks for the kind words.
I collect vintage computers as-well so I know what these devices are
actually.
As for seeing them in person I have yet to. But I've seen a
System/3/32/34/36/370 in person before.
I actually own an 026 Keypunch, although it still needs some restoration
before its punching cards again.
I also own a 5444 style pack drive sitting next to me, not an IBM drive
though. Its for a Data General Nova 4 that's in the rack with it.

Subject: Re: I just bought an IBM z890
So an update from when I posted yesterday.
Me and a friend have (after many hours last night) figured out how to
reconfigure the IOCDS and create a new LPAR.
We also got as far as being able to load over FTP, but that's about
where we got because we are not sure how or where to get an SSH
connection to the machine to continue.
Also if I am installing Linux would I need 3270 OSC ports on the
machine? I figured Linux wouldn't use the 3270 protocol but am I wrong?
My friend also had a theory that you can use a 3270 console to access
the LPAR directly without anything running on it to assist in an
install, if this is true how do I know the IP address of the OSA card?
All I can find is the MAC address.
I've even preformed a network scan in the subnet to see if my router
gave it an address and I just need to find it but nothing appears on
the network that seems to be related to the machine.
(Also note, the SE on this machine doesn't have a built in 3270
console sadly, its an older OS/2 SE that doesn't have this feature.)
The real frustrating part is it seems 90% of the install docs for
Linux speak of installing through something like z/OS or z/VM where
you can define IP addresses and such and know exactly what is going
on. Where as this is an install through the SE (HMC) which is a blind
install almost.
We've made a lot of progress, but there are still a few missing pieces
to the puzzle.
Also as for later plans for storage and such, I am still waiting for a
few pieces to get here but I have an IBM 2108-G07 SAN Data Gateway
that should give me FCP based SCSI storage to install onto once I
figure out how to actually get an SSH into the Debian installer and
actually complete the install.
