iSeries Operations Console: Direct attach, LAN, remote,
and HMC
Operations Console is a Model 270, 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890 operators
interface for systems management. These iSeries servers support integrated
remote console and control panel capabilities to simplify remote systems
management tasks. iSeries Operations Console support allows a personal
computer (PC) to be a local or remote console of iSeries servers. This allows a
system administrator to monitor the system from another location. A twinaxial
connection for console functions is not required.
The remote console application is a full-function 5250 PC console session. The
remote control panel application complements the remote console function and
provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that resembles its hardware
counterpart. Both applications, in general, make it possible to perform the
majority of system operations tasks, for example backup and recovery, when the
iSeries server and the operations staff are in physically separate locations.
Important: All existing console types are supported in IBM i5/OS V5R3
partitions and on IBM Eserver i5 Models 520, 550, 570, and 595.
Hardware Management Console (HMC) is required for managing partitions
and Capacity on Demand. Although the HMC can be used as a console
device, all previously available console types are still valid.
The #0367 is to be used for direct attached Operations Console and is
delivered when Operations Console on the local area network (LAN) is
selected. The #0367 is also orderable for each partition running i5/OS when
the customer chooses a console type making use of this cable.
The remote operator panel function of Operations Console is not supported on
Eserver i5 Models 520, 550 and 570, and 595. Refer to "Hardware
Management Console" on page 742 for equivalent support for Model 520,
550, and 570 and 595 operators.
