Resynchronizing the PC and service tools device ID password
When a mismatch occurs in the service tools device ID password between the system and the Operations Console PC, resynchronize the password by performing recovery steps on both the PC and the system.
You need to access Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST) to reset using the service tool device. If there is already a console device present, you can use it. Otherwise, you might need to temporarily attach another console such as:
- Using a different local console on a network (LAN), if available.
- Reconfigure the same local console on a network (LAN) using an unused emergency service tools device ID.
- Using an Operations Console local console directly attached to the server (if an Operations Console cable is available).
- Using a twinaxial-attached console.
- Use the control panel or remote control panel to reset QCONSOLE.
