To change from an Operations Console with a local console directly attached to a local console on anetwork (LAN), follow these steps on the system using the existing console.About this taskNote: If you need to add or move adapters to satisfy the hardware requirements for Operations Console,do this work prior to starting these steps.1. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST). You must unlock the SST option″Service tools device IDs″ before it is usable.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’sadapter, 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 currentlyconfigured 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 (twinaxialconsole only).Note: The selection of an alternate console only pertains when twinaxial workstations are to be thealternate console and the console type is also twinaxial console. The alternate console must beunder a different IOP than the IOP tagged for use by Operations Console. Operations Consolecannot 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 forthe 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 correctlytagged 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.10. Select Work with DST environment.11. Select System Devices(skip this step if using SST).12. Select Select Console.13. Select Operations Console (LAN):a. The Verify Operations Console Adapters window appears. This is the resource found by thesystem to be used for your LAN connections. If you receive the message No valid LAN adapteravailable you did not satisfy the hardware requirements for Operations Console. If so, use F3 toexit to the DST main menu, then, start this topic again at step 1.b. Press F11 to configure the adapter.c. Enter the appropriate network data.54 System i: Connecting to System i Operations Console
