IBMi PowerVS cloud VNC web console - Consider increase the idle timeout from default 30 minutes to 30 hours
This idea is to increase the idle time for the Cloud VNC web console for IBMi LPARs. As a customer are impacted due to default idle time out of 30 minutes causing our Connections to drop with Console and Restricted backup or Maintenance performed with dedicated console is impacted too.

The PowerVS team has recently released updates and enhancements to the console which include increasing the timeout.
You can recover the Console session most of the times with the F10, not the F18...
But yeah it is really really REALLY :) annoying to be i.e. adding volumes to the IBM i and all of a sudden we loose the console, and to me already happened a few times that the DSP01 stays in a state that we cannot get the Console anymore, until we go through 5250 session, vary off DSP01 and vary on it again to be able to get the console back, which BTW only works if we are not in restricted state.
Plus one here on this IDEA, not particularly on the 30 hours, but a lot more than it is now, or better still allow us to configure the timeout default.
Thank you.
