This is the procedure for enabling permissions and tools to allow
console takeover.
Before you can perform a console takeover, you must have the Take
over console privilege. Use the procedure below to grant the privilege, and
then continue with the next procedure to enable console takeover.
To grant
a user the privilege to take over a console using dedicated service tools
(DST) or system service tools (SST), perform the following steps:
- Access Dedicated
Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST).
- Select Work with DST environment if using DST or Work
with service tools user IDs and devices if using SST.
- Select Service tools user IDs.
- Type a 7 on the line in front of the desired user
ID and press Enter.
- Scroll down until you find the Take over console option
and type a 2 on that line to grant the user this privilege.
- Press Enter.
To repeat this procedure for additional user IDs, repeat steps 4 and
5.
Notes: - The Take over console privilege is used the next time the user ID signs
on.
- When a user signs on at a device capable of taking over the console, the
status of the Take over the console field is updated.
To reflect a change such as a user being granted the takeover console privilege,
the user must exit the Console Information Status window
using F3 or F12 and then sign
on again.
To enable the console takeover and recovery function using DST or
SST, perform the following steps:
- Access
Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST).
- If you are using DST, select Work with DST environment,
or if you are using SST, select Work with service tools user IDs
and devices.
- If you are using DST, select System devices.
- Select Select Console.
- Type a 1 in the Allow console
recovery and console can be taken over by another console option
and press Enter.
The console takeover option takes effect immediately.
