LPAR manager screen operations
This section describes LPAR manager operations using terminal software.
LPAR manager screen display
Using terminal software, you can perform LPAR manager operations and operations on
each guest OS. You cannot perform LPAR manager operations and operations on
multiple guest OSes at the same time. You must switch the LPAR manager or guest OS in
order to perform operations.
The LPAR manager or guest screen that is displayed is said to be in the
foreground . Other
screens are in the background . When you move a LPAR manager or guest screen into the
foreground, the screen in the foreground then will automatically move to the background.
The display of the guest screen in the background is saved by LPAR manager in the
internal buffer. When that screen becomes the foreground, it reflects to its most recent
state on the serial terminal. Even when a guest screen is in the background, it does not
lose any of the displayed information.
The following table describes main uses of each screen.
