Find the primary console when the system is operational

The following methods are available to find the primary console:

• Method 1: Look for a sign-on display with a DSP01 in the upper-right corner.
• Method 2: If the device name (DSP01) for the console has been changed, you can verify the device name for the primary console by doing the following:
  1. Enter DSPCTLD QCTL on any command line. The Display Controller Description display is displayed.
  2. Find the Resource name parameter (such as CTL01) and record it.
  3. Enter PRTDEVADR rrrrr on any command line, where rrrr is the resource name you recorded.
  Note:
  If the printer is active, the data will print.
• Method 3:
  1. Enter STRSST on any command line. The System Service Tools display is displayed.
  2. Select option 1 (Start a service tool).
  3. Select option 7 (Hardware service manager).
  4. Select option 2 (Logical hardware resources).
  5. Select option 1 (System bus resources). On the Logical Hardware Resources on System Bus display, the "<" symbol indicates the IOP that the console is attached to.
  6. Use option 9 (Resource associate with IOP and display detail) to find the location of the system bus, board, and card.
