Changing a logical partition console resource

A console resource is tagged resource. It is an IOP with the workstation that you use to interact with your

3. Selection option 3 (Work with partition configuration).
4. Use the cursor to select the logical partition you want to change.
5. Select option 7 (Select console resource).
Note: The displayed list of resources contains only console capable workstation IOPs. If you are using a
communications IOP to attach a PC as an Operations Console, the IOP will not be on the Select
Console Resource display. Disable filtering by pressing the F9 key.
