along those same lines we use SuperVision consoles, ICC interface to the server, and client connections to the consoles, I've consolidated the consoles down to one NIP (master by name only) for each system and one alternate. you can use one of their console controllers and your own emulator if you like , you don't have to use the server/client setup, but it's more secure, LDAP mananged

We run it on RHEL on x86, though I believe you could run it on any Linux.

Management wants to know what is available that will let us have one display with all the console traffic from 5 LPARs. They are envisioning a PC based solution, but we have the ability to run something on zVM. (These z/OS LPARs are not under z/VM, but we have z/VM on another CPU with NJE interconnection.)
