8. Verify that the IOP containing the adapter for the local console directly
attached is tagged as the alternate console.
Attention: If the current console IOP is not selected as the alternate console

Ensure the configuration for the local console directly attached is not in a
Connecting status so that the next initial program load (IPL) will not select it as
the console device.
The iSeries system value QAUTOCFG must be set to ON. Use one of the

that Operations Console uses to refer to a specific iSeries server.
b. From the Connection menu, click Disconnect. The connection status shows
Disconnecting.
c. Wait for the status to show Disconnected.
