These tools areintended to be used only with the direction of support personnel, because inappropriate use of thesetools can cause unpredictable problems with your system. If you are not comfortable in the service toolsarea, you should call your service provider for assistance before using these tools. These instructionsassume you do not have a console device but do have another workstation capable of using the systemservice tools (SST).Note: Improper use of IBM-supplied macros could result in a change requiring a complete system reload.It is strongly suggested that you use these IBM-supplied macros only at the request of a supportrepresentative.To use the Operations Console IBM-supplied macro support, follow these steps:1. Access System Service Tools (SST).2. Select Start a service tool.3. Select Display/Alter/Dump.4. Select Display/Alter storage.5. Select Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data.6. Select Advanced analysis. (You will have to page down to see this option.)7. Page down until you find the OPSCONSOLE option. Then, place a 1 next to the option and pressEnter. You should be on the Specify Advanced Analysis Options window. The command shouldshow as OPSCONSOLE.8. Enter the appropriate option and any required parameters in the Options field. Use the followingoptions based on the function you are running:v Deactivate the communications adapter for a local console (directly attached) = deactdirectv Activate the communications adapter for a local console (directly attached) = actdirectv Deactivate the LAN adapter for a local console on a network (LAN) = deactlanv Activate the LAN adapter for a local console on a network (LAN) = actlanv Restart the console device (any console) = restartNote: Use the restart option when you need to remove the current console from service and allow thesystem to determine whether to start or restart a console. You can use the restart option tocorrect a problem with the original console or when switching from one console type toanother.Unlocking service tools device IDs in SSTWith the Work with service tools user IDs and Devices option, you can change Operations Consoleconfiguration data from system service tools (SST) .84 System i: Connecting to System i Operations Console
