<div><p>Before you install a new software release, consider this information
|
|
on consoles.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>Although you can use twinaxial console on most servers, IBM recommends
|
|
for V5R4 that you use either Operations Console or Hardware Management Console.
|
|
For requirements on twinaxial console, Operations Console, and PCs, refer
|
|
to the category, <a href="../rzahg/rzahgicinterface.htm">Connecting
|
|
to iSeries</a> .
|
|
If you are moving from twinaxial console to Operations Console, use the <cite>iSeries
|
|
Setup and Operations CD-ROM, <span>SK3T-4098-02</span></cite>, to install Operations
|
|
Console before you install the new release. </p>
|
|
<p>If you are using twinaxial
|
|
console, the software installation process expects the system console device
|
|
to be attached at port 0 and address 0 of the first workstation controller.
|
|
In most cases, your hardware should be defined in this way. You should verify
|
|
that the console is attached at port 0 address 0.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are
|
|
planning on migrating your Operations Console, do so either before or after
|
|
you upgrade. If you are planning on migrating your Hardware Management Console
|
|
(HMC), do so only after you have completely installed your system. For more
|
|
information about using the HMC as your <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> console,
|
|
see <a href="../icbase/iphb7/i5osconsoles.htm" target="_blank">Managing <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> consoles</a> .</p>
|
|
<p>For
|
|
all servers, verify that the console mode value is set correctly for your
|
|
console. In addition, you can specify that an i5/OS LAN console or Hardware Management
|
|
Console be taken over by another console in the event your console is disconnected.
|
|
To verify the console mode value, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST).</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <strong>Work with DST environment</strong>.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <strong>System Devices</strong>.</span></li>
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <strong>Console mode</strong>. </span> <p>The value of the current
|
|
console mode is present in the input field. Verify that this is the correct
|
|
setting. A value of zero means that the console mode has not been set and
|
|
can interfere with the automatic installation process. The console mode value
|
|
must be one of the following values.</p>

<p>During an installation or upgrade to V5R4, the console
|
|
type specified by this value is used. </p>
|
|
<p>The console mode display also
|
|
includes the option to allow your 5250 console (does not include twinaxial
|
|
console) to be taken over by another console. When this option is turned on,
|
|
the system does not stop with a failure but continues to run uninterrupted.
