Connect to another server

Assuming another connection has been created, perform these steps to connect Operations Console to another server.

When using Operations Console you can have multiple configurations and connect to several servers at the same time. Connecting to another server as a local console on a network (LAN), a local console directly attached, or a remote console using dial-up support, allows you to work with another server in your network or at a remote location. Operations Console only allows one directly attached local console configuration but it allows more than one network or remote configuration.

It is assumed that the additional connection has been created already.

Follow these steps to connect to another server:

On the Operations Console Connection window, select the configuration name that you want to connect.
From the Connection menu, click Connect.

Note:

If you have a local console directly attached to the server and one or more remote consoles configured, you have to disconnect the currently connected local console configuration in order to make the remote connection to another server's local console directly attached with remote access allowed. Operations Console does not support the local console directly attached to the server and an outgoing remote console connection to be active at the same time.
If the PC you are using has multiple remote console configurations only one can be connected at a time.
All supported PC operating systems can connect multiple network configurations at the same time allowing a single PC to be the console for multiple systems or partitions.
