The iSeries system value QAUTOCFG must be set to ON. Use one of the following to verify or set this
|
|
system value on the iSeries server:
|
v Use the WRKSYSVAL QAUTOCFG OS/400 command.
v During a manual IPL, in the IPL Options window, select Y for Set major system options. Then, for
|
Enable automatic configuration, select Y.
|
Continue with Configure the PC.
|
|
Change the console from a twinaxial console to an Operations Console in a logical partition: To
|
change from twinaxial to Operations Console, you must perform these steps on the server using the
existing console prior to powering down or performing an initial program load (IPL):
|
|
Note: If you need to add or move adapters to satisfy the hardware requirements for Operations Console,
do this work before starting these migration steps. Do not move or remove the twinaxial adapter
|
|
from its current input and output processor (IOP) at this time.
|
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.
|
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 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 (twinaxial
|
|
console only).
|
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. 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.
|
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.
|
c. Look at the symbols on the same line as the tagged console IOP (the console tag is the <
|
|
symbol) for the ECS symbol which is the + (the plus sign). If the + symbol is shown, the IOP is
correctly tagged for ECS. Go to step 9.
|
d. To tag the console IOP for ECS, enter a 1 in front of the IOP to be tagged for ECS.
|
|
Note: If you will be using Operation Console as the intended console you should now see
both a < and a + associated with the console IOP.
|
9. Press F3 to exit to the DST main menu.
