Re: Need help resetting Lan Console on LPAR'd 825

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I get a message about working with console devices is disbaled in SST, which
I have seen before, so I can't use SST to fix this on the partitions
directly.

We looked for options under Work with Partitions on the Primary, but didn't
see what looked like what we wanted. I will double check the login we used
for SST on the primary to mark sure we were using QSECOFR.
