Re: Console recovery / take over is currently turned off.

Yes the LAN console uses a different NIC though like all NICS on blades it is a virtual lan. It connects to the LIC directly which is why it works when IP is down in IBM i. The VCP (virtual control panel) and the console share that connection so often when you can't get one the other is also down. Yes you can vary off the production Ethernet from the console.

Wishing I had a 5250 terminal connected with twinax.....

IVM isn't responding (long story and one that I have lived through
before) It *might* have had a control panel but I can't remember (and
can't see it). I am a little baffled as to why the control panel won't
display in Ops Navigator but what the hey...this is a development box
and I'll bounce it from the AMM. Then I hope the Ethernet line will vary
back on when it comes back up and THEN I'll connect with Ops Nav. I
should be able to vary off the Ethernet line then correct? Ops nav
doesn't need a configured Ethernet line because it uses a different NIC
... right?

Pete,

Can you go into IVM and use Operator Panel Functions there to do the
65, 21, 21? I know you can do this with HMC but I think that's also
available on IVM.
