Re: iSeries Operations Console

Connected with Tony today. Nothing in the logs that gave him a clues
what was going on.

He suggested that I delete the console configuration and recreate it.
Delete worked great. Went through the create wizard four or five
times. Every time I clicked on finish, there was NOTHING showing.
There were no error boxes either.

So, I had the idea of creating the registry keys by hand. I know that
there are two places where the Client Access keys need to go.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
IBM
Client Access
Current Version

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
IBM
Client Access Express
Current Version

I don't remember the subkeys below the two points above.

I was wondering if somebody could post at least the key names and
types for the OpsConsole. Tony was not thrilled about building the
keys this way. But, I am wondering just what the heck is going on,
and possibly manually entering the keys might work.

Thanks

He is now sending me instructions to get a dump from the front panel.
Is this weird - or what?

You can always call IBM, that's what you pay SWMA for, that said, if you
have the Operations Console code loaded on you PC, and a physical
connection to the LAN console port then you should be able to use the
icon to create a connection. That dialog is reasonably simple although I
can understand some confusion the first time through.

Pete's note are very good to describe what's going on.

I'm still confused. Boss suggests calling IBM. That seems like a
waste of time - unless something on the computer is broken. Which
doesn't appear to be the case.

The LAN Console is established in SST/DST, and not using Devices in

IBM i. Therefore, you need to go into SST and configure the console. The
address that you configure is the TCP/IP address for the LAN Console
Ethernet port on your PowerSystems machine. If this is running, you
should be able to ping this from the PC you are connecting from. Is the
PC directly connected to this port or goes through a switch, you should
still be able to ping it.

The address below of .120 is your PC, and the .12 is the adapter on

your Powersystems that you are using for LAN Console.

Service Tools LAN Adapter

Internet address is 10.50.1.12

WShich confuses me, as pc has IP of 10.50.1.120

Subnet mask on the display is 255.255.255.0

System value QCONSOLE is DSP04. That device is VARY ON PENDING.

Where is lan console IP address stored?

Click on "connect" and nothing seems to happen.

Simple question to start:

What is device that is used? Makes me think something is

varied off.
