HMC & Alternate console

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have go in to our iSeries HMC and configured the Alternate Console for
CTL01.  That is the 5095 tower slot C03 where the Twinax adapter is.  I
created the device description of DSP01 at CTL01, Port 0 and Switch
setting of 0.  The 3476 terminal comes up as DSP01 but in Qinter.  My
question is, do I need to IPL the partition to make the change
effective?  Under what circumstances does the alternate console become a
true restricted state usable console?  I want our operators to use this
instead of the HMC for complete system saves which means to put the
system into restricted state.

TIA
