Change the console from local console on a network (LAN) to a local console directly attached for a non-partitioned server or a primary partition

To migrate Operations Console local console on a network (LAN) to a local console directly attached, follow these steps on the server using the existing console.

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 DST environment.
3. Select System Devices (skip this step if using SST).
4. SelectSelect Console.
5. Select Operations console (LAN). The Verify Operations Console Adapters window appears. This is the resource found by the system to be used for your LAN connection.
   Note: If this resource will be used for the service tools server (iSeries Navigator connections) or you plan to use the local console on a network (LAN) as a backup console then you do not need to do the clear. If either of these choices is true, continue with step 12.
6. Press F11 to configure the adapter.
7. Press F6 to perform a clear.
8. Press F7 to store the new values.
9. If you are not currently using this resource for the console connection, press F13 to deactivate the adapter. You will be required to use another console type or resource on the next IPL.
   Note: If you are doing this work from a local console on a network connection this deactivation will cause your console connection to close and you may not be able to restart it without an IPL.
10. Press F12 twice to exit this window. You should have returned to the Work with System Devices window. If you're using SST, this returns you to Work with Service Tools User IDs and Devices.
11. Select Select Console.
12. Select Operations console (direct).
    Important: You must change the console type to something other than Operations Console (LAN) or the adapter will get reallocated on the next IPL.
13. Press F3 to return to the DST main menu.
