Re: LAN Console upgrade

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think the thread is talking about migrating one system to another as well
as converting from like V5.4 to V6.1.

I haven't found a way to retrieve the t5 connection LAN console settings or
an API to get them either.  I am sure that a new system would not have it's
service tools device ID's enabled either and this is a requirement to use
LAN console, example:  seeing the front gui panel remotely etc.

Service Tools User ID's, Service Tools Device ID's and Configure Service
Tools Lan Adapter settings/values I don't think are very portable between
machines and not very easily able to get values back about them.
