Configuring Operations Console on the PC

When you have completed your Operations Console planning and your Set up Operations Console
checklist, you are ready to begin the Operations Console configuration wizard.
Note: You must have Administrator rights to create or alter a configuration.
To access the configuration wizard, follow these steps:
1. Click Start.
2. Select Programs.
3. Select iSeries Access for Windows.
4. Select Operations Console.
Note: If Operations Console did not appear, you need to complete an iSeries Access for Windows
selective setup. Click Start → Programs → IBM iSeries Access for Windows → Selective Setup.
The configuration wizard and Operations Console window starts. Follow the steps through the wizard
and enter any required data.
| Important: IBM System i and eServer i5 models start counting logical partitions with the number 1 (even
if it is the only partition) instead of a 0. iSeries 270 and 8xx models start counting logical
|
partitions with the number 0. For the console to connect properly, your logical partitions must
|
| also begin numbering at 1 instead of 0. This is especially true if you rely on the BOOTP
process to configure the server with its network data.
|
Click Finish to save the configuration and exit the configuration wizard. It is important that each
configured connection has a unique name or unpredictable results may occur.
