<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: LAN connected devices only with take over enabled</h1>
<div><p>This is a description of what happens during an IPL when console
take over is enabled and more than one LAN-connected device is available.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The LAN devices will be called LAN1, LAN2, and LAN3. The IPL
is being performed in unattended (Normal) mode.</p>
<p>At the point in an IPL
when the console device is being determined, it is more or less a race condition
if more than one device is connecting at a time. The first device to connect,
of the type specified by the console mode setting (LAN in our example), becomes
the console and will be presented with the usual console screens.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>For our example let's say LAN1 is the first device connected.
During the IPL this device will show the IPL status changes just like any
other console and eventually the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> sign
on window. LAN2 and LAN3 will show a special DST signon screen with a new
line of data stating <tt class="sysout">ATTENTION: This device can become the
console</tt>. The rest of the window will be the same as any other
DST signon window. At LAN2 a user with the user privilege of take over console
signs on. This user will now be presented the same <tt class="sysout">Console
Information Status</tt> screen and the take over the console
field will show a <tt class="sysout">YES</tt> indicating that take over
is possible. At LAN3 a user without the take over console privilege signs
on. The take over the console field will show as <tt class="sysout">NO</tt> since
the user does not have the correct authority for take over.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>At this point only one device has met all the conditions for a
console take over. At the bottom of the screen is F10=Take over console connection.
Pressing F10 will present the user with the Take over Console Connection
From Another User screen. This is a confirmation screen that gives the user
a last chance to cancel the take over. Selecting 1 and then pressing Enter
at this point will cause the take over to occur. Almost immediately, LAN1
will get the special DST signon screen and LAN2, the device that initiated
the take over, will have the exact same screen LAN1 had when the transfer
took place. The job, if something was running, doesn't even know this action
took place. In fact, the original console could have been installing Licensed
Internal Code or <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> or
even running a complete system save in restricted state and the server would
not know it. You could even disconnect the console connection and come back
later, reconnect, and you will get the current job's screen data and the job
would never miss a beat. If a large amount of screen data was sent by the
job and could not be delivered, the data will be stored until later. When
a console reconnects, by an authorized user (has the take over console privilege)
from an eligible device, the user may see fast screen refreshes until all
the stored data has been delivered. Actually, doing a disconnect and a reconnect
is considered a recovery (not a take over).</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The data present at LAN3 will not change after the take over.
Currently, there is no method to automatically refresh the data. However,
if the user at LAN3 pressed Enter, a manual refresh of all fields except the
Take over the console field would occur. The user would have to exit this
screen and sign on again to see the change to that field.</p>
