RE: Setting up TCPIP on new i5 -- MIDRANGE-L

I got things working now... Whew!

Not bad for a hardware newbie. Instructions on resetting QCONSOLE weren't
exact, but I got it done, twice, like I said because of my foolish mistakes.

Should have my web site up and running on it very soon. :) This this is
pure lightning! Wow! And FTPing locally is so fast! lol!

Did you IPL ? If the console got disconnected or ended up in a varied off
state while you were messing with it, it might be an issue. If it ended
abnormally previously the console might be in a recovery pending
state - an
IPL should help this.

I also found that sometimes I could get the console to work while I was
IPL-ing in manual mode but not come up after wards (seen this on twinax as
well)

I got mine reset.. actually had to do it twice. :) The second time took
about 2 minutes.

Note to self, as I told Aaron. Don't set up a TCPIP interface
with the same
IP as your LAN console or BOOM... your IPLing and resetting it
again.. lol!

So, now I have everything set up, but I just can't get a signon
screen. My
emulator says "connected" but I get no signon.

I think you'll find the SST password reset only resets the QSECOFR one.

The other password is the SST DEVICE password that's associated
with the LAN
console device you are connecting to. You can have more than

one - you are

probably set up to use QCONSOLE so you need to reset the device

password.

The device password gets reset using the 65+21 functions - you can also
reset the LAN Console interface/line, which might help.

THat's the same exact problem I am having right now! LOL!

(except for I

_can_ connect via regular LAN but not via ops console)

I tried following Rob's suggestions on another thread for
resetting the SST
password (which I did), but it still tells me my passwords don't
match. As
far as I can tell the profile/password combo should be

11111111/11111111

after doing an SST password reset.

Here is the dialog window I get:

Nah, I got it working now, but it's telling my my PC and

iSEries service

passwords do not match. Nice.

IPL'ing might help. You can IPL by pressing the power button on
the front of
the box. It will (probably) come up with a question mark on the
LCD - just
press the power button a second time to power down.

Have you actually ended and re-started the LAN console/Ops console
connection (not just the cone part of the connection) ? Are there
any error
codes on the front panel ? I'm gonna guess that if you IPL you

just might

see one soon: A600 5008

You can search the iSeries information centre for 65+21

functions as while

the machine is IPL-ing. You may need the links.
