Re: Operations Console Lan Connect

I did manage to find the following

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r3s/index.jsp?topic=/iphbx/consoleplanningconsiderations.htm

<snip>
Systems without an HMC determine the console by adapter location

When a server is not managed by an HMC, and the support for the default 
embedded Ethernet port has been disabled, the console-supporting hardware 
is required to be located in specific slot locations based on the server 
model. For Operations Console (LAN), there might be more than one location 
that can support a console. When more than one location is available for a 
server model, the locations are listed from highest priority to lowest 
priority when the console searches for console-capable hardware resources. 
By default, the first embedded Ethernet port is used for a local console 
on a network (LAN).

Also, the 5706/5707 adapters are able to run without an IOP. If you do not 
want to use the embedded Ethernet port, a 5706/5707, or either for the 
console, you can selectively turn this support on or off by following the 
steps in Disabling support for the default embedded Ethernet port or 
5706/5707 adapters. You can also use the OPSCONSOLE native macro or the 
console service functions (65+21) to disable this support. For more 
information on either of these options, see Troubleshooting using the 
OPSCONSOLE macro or Using the console service functions (65+21).
