<h1 class="topictitle1">Preparing your console for software installation</h1>
<div><p>Before you install a new software release, consider this information
on consoles.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>Although you can use twinaxial console on most servers, IBM recommends
for V5R4 that you use either Operations Console or Hardware Management Console.
For requirements on twinaxial console, Operations Console, and PCs, refer
to the category, <a href="../rzahg/rzahgicinterface.htm">Connecting
to iSeries</a> .
If you are moving from twinaxial console to Operations Console, use the <cite>iSeries
Setup and Operations CD-ROM, <span>SK3T-4098-02</span></cite>, to install Operations
Console before you install the new release. </p>
<p>If you are using twinaxial
console, the software installation process expects the system console device
to be attached at port 0 and address 0 of the first workstation controller.
In most cases, your hardware should be defined in this way. You should verify
that the console is attached at port 0 address 0.</p>
<p>If you are
planning on migrating your Operations Console, do so either before or after
you upgrade. If you are planning on migrating your Hardware Management Console
(HMC), do so only after you have completely installed your system. For more
information about using the HMC as your <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> console,
see <a href="../icbase/iphb7/i5osconsoles.htm" target="_blank">Managing <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> consoles</a> .</p>
<p>For
all servers, verify that the console mode value is set correctly for your
console. In addition, you can specify that an i5/OS LAN console or Hardware Management
Console be taken over by another console in the event your console is disconnected.
To verify the console mode value, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <strong>Work with DST environment</strong>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <strong>System Devices</strong>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <strong>Console mode</strong>. </span> <p>The value of the current
console mode is present in the input field. Verify that this is the correct
setting. A value of zero means that the console mode has not been set and
can interfere with the automatic installation process. The console mode value
must be one of the following values.</p>

</tbody>

</div>
<p>During an installation or upgrade to V5R4, the console
type specified by this value is used. </p>
<p>The console mode display also
includes the option to allow your 5250 console (does not include twinaxial
console) to be taken over by another console. When this option is turned on,
the system does not stop with a failure but continues to run uninterrupted.

<li>When you receive the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> release
upgrade, the shipped service tools user IDs (except 11111111) are expired.
For all upgrades and installations, you need to establish a connection between <span>the
server and Operations Console PC by using</span> 11111111 (eight 1's) for both
the service tools user ID and the default password. This ensures a successful
authentication of the subsequent connection of the client to the server. This
is especially important for automatic installations.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Failure to comply with the above actions can prevent the console
