Recovery
details:
Here
is
the
additional
information
about
the
console
recovery
function.
v
The
recovery
of
the
console
using
a
device
with
the
same
console
connectivity
is
directly
tied
to
the
take
over
option.
If
you
do
not
want
take
over
capability
but
do
want
recovery
from
loss
of
the
console,
you
must
still
enable
the
take
over
option.
v
Console
recovery
utilizes
the
take
over
function.
Recovery
can
be
from
the
same
device
or
another
device
of
the
same
connectivity.
For
example,
if
you
are
using
Operations
Console
LAN
and
have
multiple
PCs
set
up
to
be
the
console
and
the
existing
console
fails
you
can
use
the
take
over
function
from
the
same
PC,
after
correcting
the
reason
for
the
failure,
or
from
another
PC.
Regardless
of
what
the
former
console
was
doing,
the
new
console
will
be
in
the
same
job,
at
the
same
step,
as
the
original
console
would
have
been.
The
job
continues
even
though
the
console
was
not
operational.
Using
a
directly
attached
console
to
recover
a
loss
of
a
LAN-connected
console
doesn’t
fit
this
scenario
v
The
recoverability
of
the
console
using
a
different
console
connectivity
provides
additional
options
for
the
user.
If
you
have
a
backup
console
plan
that
involves
the
need
for
a
change
in
the
console
type,
consider
the
following:
–
For
ease
of
adapting
recovery,
you
can
place
all
console
supporting
adapters
for
use
by
the
same
IOP.
This
reduces
the
number
of
steps
necessary
to
accomplish
a
recovery.
–
The
console
type
change
can
be
immediate
depending
on
the
method
used
to
make
the
change.
Examples
would
be:
-
Using
DST
or
SST
to
change
the
console
type
would
allow
the
console
to
change
only
at
the
next
IPL.
Following
this
action
with
a
force
DST
(function
21)
using
the
control
panel
or
LPAR
menu
may
not
always
work
either.
-
Changing
tags
in
the
LPAR
environment
will
also
require
an
IPL
to
cause
a
change
of
the
console.
-
However,
using
the
console
service
functions
(65+21),
forces
the
system
to
do
this
search
and
activates
the
appropriate
hardware
and
tasks
immediately.
–
Supporting
hardware
for
each
console
type
you
want
to
use
for
recovery
must
be
available
at
the
time
of
recovery.
For
example,
if
you
want
a
local
console
directly
attached
to
be
able
to
recover
a
local
console
on
a
network,
both
adapter
cards
must
be
located
in
their
respective
locations
or
be
properly
tagged
for
logical
partitions.
For
this
to
be
completed,
you
also
need
to
change
the
console
type,
either
using
an
available
menu
or
using
the
console
service
functions
(65+21).
In
order
to
accomplish
a
recovery
using
a
different
console
type,
you
must
set
the
new
console
type
before
attempting
the
takeover.
This
means
that
either
the
supporting
hardware
must
already
be
available,
including
any
logical
partition
tagging,
or
you
have
to
move
supporting
hardware,
physically
or
logically,
before
attempting
the
recovery.
Then,
you
will
have
to
use
one
of
the
methods
to
change
the
console
type
to
the
desired
setting.
You
can
use
an
existing
workstation
and
SST,
if
available,
the
native
macro,
or
the
console
service
functions
(65+21).
–
In
V5R4,
a
D-mode
IPL
with
the
take
over
function,
one
console
device
taking
over
for
another,
is
supported.
If
you
change
the
console
mode
value
during
a
D-mode
IPL,
for
example
using
65+21,
you
should
be
able
to
connect
another
device
as
long
as
the
new
console
type
has
supporting
hardware
and
a
device.
