v During a manual IPL, in the IPL Options window, select Y for Set major system options. Then, forEnable automatic configuration, select Y.Related reference“Operations Console hardware requirements” on page 7You need to meet the PC and System i hardware requirements for an Operations Consoleconfiguration.“Configuring the PC to use the new console type after changing from a twinaxial console to anOperations Console” on page 63To change from a twinaxial console to an Operations Console, you must configure the PC to use thenew console type.Related informationAccess service toolsChanging the console from a twinaxial console to an Operations Console in a logical partition:To change from a twinaxial console to an Operations Console, you must perform these steps on thesystem using the existing console before turning off the system or doing an initial program load (IPL).About this taskNote: 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 adapterfrom its current input and output processor (IOP) at this time.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 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 the adapter for Electronic Customer Support (ECS) and an optional alternate console(twinaxial console only).Note: The selection of an alternate console only pertains when twinaxial workstations are to be thealternate console and the console 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 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.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 9.62 System i: Connecting to System i Operations Console
