For
this
scenario,
configure
a
local
console
on
a
network.
Advantages:
v
You
can
configure
a
single
PC
to
be
the
console
for
several
different
systems
or
partitions
as
long
as
they
are
connected
to
the
service
connection
network.
There
are
a
maximum
of
26
active
consoles
at
a
time
but
you
might
have
a
virtually
unlimited
number
of
configurations.
v
The
administrator
does
not
need
to
be
physically
near
the
system
to
manage
the
console.
v
Security
features
are
available
to
protect
your
console
connections.
v
A
local
console
on
a
network
is
the
connectivity
of
choice
for
partitions
in
an
LPAR
environment.
v
Multiple
PCs
can
be
configured
as
a
console
to
a
system
or
partition,
but
only
one
PC
can
act
as
an
active
console
at
a
time.
Disadvantages:
v
No
console
is
available
in
the
event
that
a
network
failure
takes
place
unless
a
backup
console
is
available.
Configure
a
local
console
directly
attached
to
the
server
or
a
twinaxial
console
for
backup.
v
Your
system
will
need
a
separate
LAN
card
to
be
used
by
the
console
or
other
service
tools.

You

hardware
requirements
for

Most
system
plans
include
a
level
of

however,
many
people
do
not
consider
the
console
in

plans.
To

of
your
console,
you
need
to
plan
for
