Re: Changing console from direct-connect to LAN

Good news is that the console is up - gave up on Personal Communications and went with the real Ops Console direct-connect. Now I can make changes as needed - like the Ethernet line to use T6 instead of T5.

Thanks for all the help.

Again, it's been awhile - I'm thinking I'll shut down the interface using the present line, change the line to point at T6, then fire it up again. Does that sound right? Don't know if I need to worry about things, but this seems it'll come out the cleanest.

Hi Lukas

You can. I've migrated a system with a broken Thin Console to LAN
Console by telnetting into the box, changing the system values and
enabling the SST LAN Adapter using STRSST, etc. No IPL required. Took
about 10 minutes. Of course i had to kick all users of the box for a
short moment to move the LAN cable from port T5 to T6.


You could even get around that by setting up a Virtual IP Address
