Deallocating Or Moving The Lan Adapter Card From Use By Operations Console - IBM System i Manual

network parameters, including the service host name (interface name). During the initial connection,
|
| this data finishes the system configuration for the network. This process is also known as BOOTP.
v The second method to create a service host name (interface name) is by using an existing console. This
method could be used during a migration or an upgrade before disconnecting your old console. When
using the following procedure, you can either verify or create the configuration for the System i service
connection. You can find the service host name (interface name) by going into Dedicated Service Tools
(DST), or System Service Tools (SST) on the partition that you are configuring and use the Configure
Service Tools Adapter display. Enter the same name on the PC as the existing service host name
(interface name) defined in DST or SST.
| Note: You might need to temporarily change the console type to complete this work. You can also use
any option pertaining to the service tools LAN adapter to verify the service host name or data.

To create a service host name (interface name):
Note: To perform the following procedure using SST, select the option Work with service tools user IDs
and Devices everywhere it says select Work with DST environment. Also note that if you are
using a console mode other than Operations Console (LAN), you can use the option Configure
service tools LAN adapter to create or change the service host name or its data.
1. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST).
2. Select Work with DST environment.
3. Select System devices (skip this step if using SST).
4. Select Select Console.
5. Select Operations Console (LAN) and press Enter. This should show Verify Operations Console
Adapters.
6. Press F11 to configure.
7. The service host name (interface name) field contains the name. If you are creating a new service
connection follow these steps:
a. Enter the network data in the appropriate fields.
b. Store your configuration by pressing F7.
c. Activate the LAN adapter by pressing F14.
d. Press F3 to exit.

Deallocating or moving the LAN adapter card from use by Operations Console

During a migration, you might need to deallocate the LAN card from use by Operations Console. You
need to deallocate the LAN card if you are not planning on using an Operations Console local console on
a network configuration or the service tools server.
After the LAN card is deallocated, you can move it or use it for another purpose. You must also be using
|
| a console type other than an Operations Console local console on a network (LAN) or the following steps
will cause the console to disconnect. Follow these steps to deallocate the LAN adapter currently
