This topic provides instructions on how to run the Operations Console
configuration wizard.
When you have completed Planning for your Operations Console configuration and Setting up Operations Console, you are ready to start the Operations Console
configuration wizard.
Important: You must have Administrator
rights to create or alter a configuration. Also, the instructions assume the
server is powered off. Do not power on the server until instructed to do
so.
To configure Operations Console, complete the following steps:
- Click . If Operations Console is not displayed, complete an iSeries Access
for Windows® selective
setup. Click .
Note: The
configuration wizard and Operations Console window starts.
- Step through the wizard and enter any required data.
Important: IBM System i5™ and eServer™ i5
models start counting logical partitions with the number 1 (even if it is
the only partition) instead of a 0. For the console to connect properly, your
logical partitions must also begin numbering at 1 instead of 0. This is especially
true if you rely on the BOOTP process to configure the server with its network
data.
- Click Finish to save the configuration and
exit the configuration wizard.
- Verify each connection has a unique name.
- Start
your connection.
Note: For some connections, the configuration wizard automatically
configures the connection so that it uses the console and remote control panel
functions. If you want to make changes, go to to deselect the function
you do not want started for that connection.
