Re: A6005008 TwinAx Console Problems

Hi Martin

Pat is right, you need to tell the system which console type you are using.

The process for doing this is here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/rzajr/rzajrfunctions6521.htm#functions6521

But if the link is wrong search the infocenter on 65+21

You will need to use the option panel as you described - having to 
hit 25 and 26 to make the 65 stuff available; there is a section on 
the web page above that describes how to make these functions available.

You can do this after booting from the LIC CD on  scratch install, 
I've done it before. It's just infuriating as the procedure is quite tedious.

I found it useful to go back and check the console type after I had 
changed it (it tok me a couple of attempts to get it right)

It was also handy to go back and use function 11 to check the SRC 
that resulted after the operations

You will be much  more familiar with your panel when you have completed this.

According to my reading of this link:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/rzame/rzameopstwin.htm?resultof=%22%32%37%34%36%22%20%22%38%32%35%22%20

You need to install the twinax card in position C06.

You can search the info center 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp for 
2746 and 825 if the link doesn't work - there is an article on 
upgrading Operations Console to Twinax

hope this helps
