<h1 class="topictitle1">Virtual control panel (VCP)</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The virtual control panel (VCP) is one way to get remote control
|
|
panel (RCP) functions on the PC. </p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>This is accomplished by using the serial cable and connection
|
|
of a directly cabled console. There is no requirement for network adapters
|
|
on the PC or server with VCP. You will, however, create a configuration that
|
|
uses the network path in the Operations Console install wizard. You will
|
|
also be required to have an unused service tools device ID available for the
|
|
VCP connection. If your console uses the network connectivity already, you
|
|
should be using the remote control panel option available for that configuration
|
|
rather than VCP. </p>
|
|
<p>The VCP allows for nearly all the same functions as
|
|
the RCP. The GUI is the same for the VCP as it is for the RCP - only the
|
|
connectivity is different. Due to its differences in connectivity, the VCP
|
|
cannot, for example, be used to power on a system or a partition. The VCP
|
|
function will work with the V5R2 or later version of Client Access Express
|
|
Client communicating to a V5R2 or later release iSeries™ server.</p>
|
|
<p>The
|
|
VCP uses a TCP/IP connection on the Operations Console cable. You have to
|
|
have a directly-cabled console configured and connected in order to use the
|
|
VCP. The VCP can not be used to replace a parallel-connected RCP-only configuration.
|
|
The VCP will require an additional configuration.</p>
