If your local console starts in unattended mode, SERVER appears in the Current User field after you
|
|
Connect a local console directly attached to the server. Operations Console automatically grants control to
the first requester (local console or remote console).
|
Default user (server): SERVER is an identification name that Operations Console assigns when there is no
|
|
user in control of a server. When no user has iSeries control, SERVER appears in the Current User field. In
addition, Operations Console automatically grants control to the first requester (local console or remote
|
console).
|
Operations Console automatically grants control to the first requester in the following cases:
|
v Immediately after you release control at a local console with remote support.
|
|
v Immediately after connecting a local console directly attached with remote access allowed, if it started
|
in unattended mode.
v When SERVER appears in the Current User field.
|
|
Display the remote control panel in read-only mode: Displaying the remote control panel in read-only
|
mode allows you to see the remote control panel when you do not have iSeries control. For example, you
can see the progress of an initial program load (IPL) at a server in a remote location. The remote control
|
|
panel must be installed and configured at the local console. You can display the remote control panel in
|
read-only mode in the following cases:
v At a local console if the local console user is not in control.
|
v At a remote console after the remote console connects to a local console or a local console requests
|
|
control.
|
v At a remote console after the remote console releases control to a local console.
|
To display the remote control panel, from the Connection menu, click Remote Control Panel.
Request and release control at the local console: When your local console with remote support does
|
not have iSeries control, you must request control at the local console to work with a server. Requesting
|
|
control at the local console forces control back from a remote console if the remote console has control.
After finishing your work, you must release control to allow Operations Console to automatically grant
|
control to a requester.
|
|
Requesting control at the local console:
|
Perform the following steps to request control at the local console:
|
1. Identify the user who has control.
2. If no user has control (SERVER appears in the Current User field), do the following:
|
a. Select the configuration name.
|
b. From the Connection menu, click Request Control.
|
|
c. If you installed and configured the remote control panel, confirm that it appears. If it does not
appear, see Remote control panel fails to start.
|
After the remote control panel appears, a sign-on window may appear.
|
d. If the Service Device Sign-on window appears, sign on using your service tools user ID and
|
|
password. Operations Console needs a valid service tools user ID and password to authorize the
connection between the server and the PC. If you have problems when signing on, see
|
Troubleshoot authentication problems.
|
|
e. Confirm that the console appears. If it does not appear, see remote control panel fails to start in
the troubleshooting information and Local console connection problems.
