Scenarios: Takeover and recovery

 

These scenarios can help you understand the takeover and recovery options.

• Scenario: LAN connected devices only with takeover enabled
  This scenario describes what happens during an IPL when console takeover is enabled and more than one LAN-connected device is available.

• Scenario: A normal IPL and dual-connectivity configurations with take over enabled
  This is a description of what happens during an IPL when console take over is enabled and more than one Operations Console connectivity is being used. That is, a directly attached console device, of which there can only be one, is connected and three Operations Console LAN devices are connected.

• Scenario: Recovery of a console requiring a new console type setting
  Sometimes you might have to change the console type to recover from a console error. An example of this might be the loss of your network during normal operations.

• Scenario: How to recover the console during a D-mode IPL with take over enabled
  In this scenario you might be installing Licensed Internal Code as part of a system recovery action and the configured console was a local console on a network. However, the device did not become active and you have an A6005008 SRC code. The system is large and it takes a long time to get to this point and you do not want to start over.
