Changing the console from local console on a network (LAN) to a local console directly attached for a
logical partition:
To migrate Operations Console with a local console on a network (LAN) to a local console directly
attached, follow these steps on the system using the existing console.
Note: If you need to add or move adapters to satisfy the hardware requirements for Operations Console,
do this work prior to starting these migration steps.
1. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST).
2. Select Work with System Partitions.
3. Select Work with partition configuration.
4. Choose Select Console Resource on the logical partition.
5. Press F9 to Change capability filter.
6. Select Any Console (option 4).
7. To select the IOP that will support your intended console, do one of the following:
v If the adapter to be used for the intended console is under the same IOP as the previous console's
adapter, the console IOP is already correctly tagged. Go to step 8.
v If the adapter to be used for the intended console is under a different IOP than the currently
configured console, place a 1 in front of the IOP to select it as the console IOP.
8. Verify an adapter for Electronic Customer Support (ECS) and an optional alternate console.
v To verify the tagging for an alternate console, find the IOP with the twinaxial adapter that will be
used for the alternate console. It is properly tagged if you see a > (greater than) symbol on the
same line. If the > is not on this line, enter an option 2 in front of the IOP being selected as the
alternate console.
| Note: The selection of an alternate console only pertains when twinaxial workstations are to be the
alternate console and the console type is also twinaxial console. The alternate console must be
|
| under a different IOP than the IOP tagged for use by Operations Console. Operations Console
cannot be used as an alternate console.
|
v To verify the console IOP for ECS, perform the following steps:
| Note: If you use Operations Console as your console type, you must also tag the same IOP used for
the console as the IOP for ECS even if you do not use ECS.
|
a. Press F12 until you arrive at the Work with Partition Configuration window.
b. Enter a 9 in front of the partition to be tagged for ECS.
