Re: iSeries Ops Console (LAN)

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

  Yes you would need a second LAN card as LAN console requires a Dedicated
card. That said however, there is little to gain by using LAN console on a
non-LPAR system. You still need operations console (serial cable) anyway for
the primary (or in your case only) partition. I have far less problem with
Operations Console now than when it first came up but unless you need access
to 'The COn' from outside the computer room, I'd stay Twinax.
