<h1 class="topictitle1">Virtual control panel</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The virtual control panel is an alternative to the remote control
|
|
panel for parallel cable. Like the remote control panel, the virtual control
|
|
panel is a way to use control panel functions through a PC.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The graphical user interface for the virtual control panel is
|
|
identical to the remote control panel. Also, the virtual control panel can
|
|
perform most of the same functions as the remote control panel. If your server
|
|
uses a keystick, the <span class="uicontrol">mode</span> button works with the same
|
|
functions as the physical control panel, depending on whether the keystick
|
|
is inserted.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<p>The biggest functional difference between the remote control panel and
|
|
the virtual control panel is that the virtual control panel cannot power on
|
|
the server. As an alternative, if you need to power on the system at a later
|
|
time, you can use the IPL scheduling function in Operational Assistant, by
|
|
pressing the <span class="uicontrol">Attention</span> key. You can also use the GO
|
|
POWER command and select option 2 (Change power on and off schedule).</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Considerations for the virtual control panel</h4><p>If
|
|
you use the virtual control panel, you should be aware of the following considerations:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The virtual control panel must have a direct connection to the server
|
|
from Operations Console using the serial console cable.</li>
|
|
<li>The virtual control panel is only available while the Operations Console
|
|
is connected.</li>
|
|
<li>You cannot use the virtual control panel remotely through a dial up connection.</li>
|
|
<li>There are prerequisites to installing the virtual control panel such as
|
|
PTFs for the server and service packs for the client.</li>
|
|
<li>If the PC has a parallel cable connection for a remote control panel,
|
|
you must remove it before you can install and use your virtual control panel.</li>
|
|
<li>A unique service tools device profile must exist for each virtual control
|
|
panel connection.</li>
|
|
<li>You cannot use an existing network name.</li>
|
|
<li>More than one virtual control panel and remote control panel can be active
|
|
at the same time.</li>
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The service tools user ID used to authenticate
|
|
the connection must have the Partition remote panel key privilege in order
|
|
to use the mode function provided by the virtual control panel. To verify
|
|
that your service tools user ID has this privilege, see Change the functional
|
|
privileges for a service tools user ID using SST.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
|
</ul>

recommended for the virtual control panel and which models are recommended
|
|
for the remote control panel.</p>
