Re: New 520 - Does the OS come pre-installed?

I don't (beat my head against the wall, that is). I usually apply PTFs
remotely from home. In doing this once about a year ago, the LAN console
wouldn't come back afterward. This was Saturday morning, I drove into work
and called Supportline. They walked me through the "65/21" (I think) on the
front panel to switch to twinax and back. It came up. Supportline said
sometimes it gets 'confused' and needs slapped around a bit. I won't need
that 65/21 again for a couple of years.

I liked your "Since the documents refer you to nonexistent web sites and
stuff, it shouldn't take long to get stuck." Priceless.

Jeff,

When this happens, don't beat your head into the wall like Aaron. Call
IBM. I did just that while doing some side work helping set up a box with
Lan Console. They talked me through a lot. Try it yourself but as soon
as you get stuck, call. Since the documents refer you to nonexistent web
sites and stuff, it shouldn't take long to get stuck.

Aaron,

I cannot help you, but I have to say something.

I am NOT looking forward to the day when my company needs to replace the
520
with Power i equipment. The amount of trouble people like you and Lukas
and
Pete had and are having getting new machines set up and running gives me
the
willies. I want simplicity, not this new complexity being introduced.

Just my $.02.

I am now in section "Initial IBM i OS configuration" (

Upon first logging in with QSECOFR/QSECOFR it requires you to change the
QSECOFR password. No issue, I did that and proceeded to the next step

of

putting the system into manual mode, was prompted by the DST logon

prompt,

and I entered QSECOFR and the *new* password. Well, it didn't take the

new

password, so I tried QSECOFR as the password - no go. And now it is
telling
me "Id disabled" when I try to log in. When I do an F1 on that message

to

get more info it just takes me to the help for the screen, so I don't

even

have a message id to do a search on to see how to resolve the issue.

This

is the only page I could find, but it requires that I am able to log in

to

DST to enable a DST profile - thanks IBM:

Help.
