Plan for your configuration

In order to plan for your configuration, you should find out the specific connectivity types allowed by the various Operations Console configurations. The scenarios included offer specific configurations examples to help you select a console configuration most suited to your needs. If you plan ahead, you can include additional features in your configuration.

Important:
  • If you call a service representative to set up your new server, you must have the PC that you are going to use as a console ready to be connected to your iSeries™ server. This includes having all cables ready and all software installed. For example, you must already have your Windows® operating system and iSeries Access for Windows installed on the PC.
  • If you are configuring Operations Console for an i5/OS™ partition running Linux, see Configure the LAN console for a guest partition.
