To quickly recover from the unexpected loss of the console
that manages the IBM® i operating
system, you might want to consider a backup console.
Considerations for a backup console
Many system plans include a level of redundancy to allow
for hardware failures, but some do not consider the console in those
plans.
Verify your system is ready for a backup console
Recovering from the loss of a console depends on many factors,
some of which include the model, the hardware resources available,
the previous console type, and the intended console type.
