help using IVM

Greetings,

My admin experience is limited to non-lpar RS6000/pSeries servers and have never touched an HMC.
We did buy a used 520 last year and when we went to license it with Aix it turned out it had been previously configured with APV software so we had to license it that way. I did play around with it a little bit and setup the HMC1 port with a static ip address so that I could fire up a browser and connect to it. That seemed to work but I never had the opportunity to play with any sort of APV features.

Now out of curiosity I decided to try and connect to it again but I can't establish a connection.
I can ping it but I can't telnet or ssh to it (if I should be able to).

So two questions:
1. How do I fix it or troubleshoot it? I think I used the ascii console and did a factory configuration reset when I first set it up.

2. Are other people using IVM in small shops? I just wonder about use compared to HMC's as I realize they provide more functionality if you manage multiple servers. I might only have 2 servers to manage if any.
