Opening a virtual terminal session for a logical partition

Connect to a logical partition using the virtual terminal on the Integrated Virtualization Manager.

Before you start, ensure that the Integrated Virtualization Manager is at version 1.5 or later. To update the Integrated Virtualization Manager, see Viewing and updating the code level of the Integrated Virtualization Manager management partition.

To open a virtual terminal session, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Partition Management menu, click View/Modify Partitions.
  2. Select the logical partition to which you want to connect and click Open terminal window. A virtual terminal window displays.
    Note: Because the applet has a digital signature, your browser might display a security warning and ask you to verify that you want to run the applet.
  3. Enter your password for your login ID from the current Integrated Virtualization Manager. A terminal session starts for the partition.
