Managing Operations Console

 

You can manage your Operation Console by performing tasks such as changing the console configuration, switching between different console types, and changing passwords.

After you complete your Operations Console planning and set up your connection, you have several options to help you manage your local and remote console connections.

• Managing your console configuration
  You can manage your local and remote console configurations with these tasks.

• Management of multiple consoles
  If you have more than one workstation that is capable of being the console to the same system or partition, there might be more than one way of using those devices as the console, depending on your configuration and circumstances.

• Changing from one console type to another
  Depending on how your console connection is set up, you can change to a different console type.

• Managing your local console on a network
  After you configure a local console on a network, you can manage your console by performing tasks such as managing the service tools device ID password and access password, creating service tools device ID, and configuring a service host name.

• Common tasks
  With Operations Console, you can perform many tasks such as changing keyboard definitions, starting the system using a manual IPL, and activating or deactivating the asynchronous communications line. These management tasks do not depend on a specific connectivity.
