Re: how to power off an IBM I system (V7R5 power 10)

On second thought, I'm not having any issues accessing ASMI by name instead
of IP address.  I was doing something wrong earlier.
Having been through a few system migrations where the old ASMI IP address
never got on the new machine it's easier if you just use DNS and point the
right name to the current server.
