Add a System Console to the Operating Configuration
Figure 10-2 on page 10-3 shows the operating configuration. You can add a system
console to this configuration as long as you have an unused port on one of the
Ethernet switches or hubs.
You can add a system console while all system components are online. Figure 10-4
shows the operating configuration with an added system console.
Before you add a system console to the operating configuration:
•
Install the primary and backup system consoles and the two Ethernet switches or
hubs. See Create the Operating Configuration on page 10-4.
•
Install, start, and test the server fully, and ensure the operating system is up and
running. See Section 8, Powering On and Starting the System.
•
Configure OSM or TSM. See Configuring the OSM or TSM Environment on
page 9-16 and the OSM User’s Guide or TSM Configuration Guide.
System consoles are shipped with the same default IP address and computer name.
Ensure that the IP address and computer name of the system console you are adding
are different from the address and name of all other workstations on the Ethernet LAN.
