Yesterday, Tony suggested deleting the profile and recreating it.
Delete worked great. Create failed with no error. Several times.
Today, found out my network logon was not set as a local administrator
on that box. That was changed. Recreated the console connection
profile. Could not connect. But, this time, there was an error box
displayed. Tony then had me enter a number of functions on the
control panel. I can't remember the sequence. Way less involved than
the 65+21+11 list I did two days ago. Tony said this was required
because the connection was new.

WE HAVE AN OPS CONSOLE NOW!

I wish I knew how it got hosed in the first place.

Despite being VERY far behind on PTFs, Tony told me we are actually
current on OpsConsole PTFs.

I am very glad that the registry keys actually were written this time.
Very ugly just thinking about trying to enter them manually.

Also learned that pc antivirus is way out of date. Sometime back in
2010. That should be addressed today.

Just thought I would add this in case somebody was wondering what was going on.

Has anybody experienced this type of problem? Is deleting and
recreating the console profile, and the reset sequence on the front
panel the only way to fix it?

He is now sending me instructions to get a dump from the front panel.
Is this weird - or what?

You can always call IBM, that's what you pay SWMA for, that said, if you
have the Operations Console code loaded on you PC, and a physical
connection to the LAN console port then you should be able to use the
icon to create a connection. That dialog is reasonably simple although I
can understand some confusion the first time through.

Pete's note are very good to describe what's going on.

I'm still confused. Boss suggests calling IBM. That seems like a
waste of time - unless something on the computer is broken. Which
doesn't appear to be the case.

The LAN Console is established in SST/DST, and not using Devices in
IBM i. Therefore, you need to go into SST and configure the console. The
address that you configure is the TCP/IP address for the LAN Console
Ethernet port on your PowerSystems machine. If this is running, you
should be able to ping this from the PC you are connecting from. Is the
PC directly connected to this port or goes through a switch, you should
still be able to ping it.

The address below of .120 is your PC, and the .12 is the adapter on
your Powersystems that you are using for LAN Console.

I think I found it. I am looking at a screen titled Configure
Service Tools LAN Adapter

Internet address is 10.50.1.12

WShich confuses me, as pc has IP of 10.50.1.120

Subnet mask on the display is 255.255.255.0

System value QCONSOLE is DSP04. That device is VARY ON PENDING.

Where is lan console IP address stored?

Click on "connect" and nothing seems to happen.

Simple question to start:

What is device that is used? Makes me think something is
varied off.
