In order to accomplish a recovery using a different console mode you must set the new console
|
|
mode before attempting the take over. This means that either the supporting hardware must already
be available, including any logical partition tagging, or you have to move supporting hardware,
|
physically or logically, before attempting the recovery. Then, you will have to use one of the
|
|
methods to change the console mode to the desired setting. You can use an existing workstation and
SST, if available, the native macro, or the console service functions (65+21) documented in Using the
|
console service functions (65 + 21).
|
|
– In a D-mode IPL the take over function, one console device taking over for another, is not
supported. For example, LAN2 taking control of LAN1. However, if LAN1 were to be disconnected
|
it could reconnect without loss of the job or data. Also, LAN2 could be connected as the recovery
|
|
action. In either case this is considered a recovery.
|
If you change the console mode value during a D-mode IPL, for example using 65+21, you should
be able to connect another device as long as the new console mode has supporting hardware and a
|
|
device.
Enable console take over: Before you can enable console take over, you must have service tool security
|
privilege. Use the procedure below to grant service tool security privilege and then continue with the
|
|
next procedure to enable console take over.
To add the service tool security privilege to a user, perform the following:
|
Note: To perform any of the following procedures using SST, select the option Work with service tools
|
user IDs and Devices everywhere it says select Work with DST environment and skip the step
|
|
Select System Devices.
1. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST).
|
2. Select Work with DST environment.
|
3. Select Service tools user IDs.
|
4.
Place a 7 on the line in front of the desired user ID and press Enter.
|
|
5.
Scroll down until you find the option Service tool security and place a 2 on that line to grant the
user this privilege and press Enter.
|
|
To repeat this procedure for additional user IDs, repeat steps 4 and 5.
This privilege will be used the next time the user ID signs on.
|
Note: When a user signs on at a device capable of taking over the console the status of the Take over the
|
console field is updated. In order to reflect a change, such as a user being granted the service tool
|
|
security privilege, the user would have to exit the Console Information Status window, using F3 or
F12 and sign on again.
|
|
To enable the console take over and recovery, perform the following:
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 Console.
|
5. Place a 1 in the option Allow console to be taken over by another console and press Enter.
The console take over option will take affect at the next system IPL or when the console service functions
|
|
(65+21) is used to change the console mode.
|
Note: Doing a 65, 21, 21 will cause the console to be reset to the same mode value and would also cause
|
the option to become active. This will cause a temporary loss of the existing console.
