Finding the primary console when the system is operational
Various methods are available to find the primary console
when the system is operational.
The following methods are available to find the primary
console:
Method 1: Look for a sign-on display with
DSP01 shown in the upper-right corner.
Method 2: If the device name (DSP01) for
the console has been changed, you can verify the device name for the
primary console by doing the following steps:
Enter DSPCTLD QCTL on a command line. The Display Controller Description
display is shown.
Find the Resource name parameter (such as CTL01) and record it.
Enter PRTDEVADR rrrrr on a command line, where rrrr is
the resource name you recorded.
Note: If the printer is active, the data will print.
Method 3:
Enter STRSST on any command line. The System Service Tools display
is shown.
Select option 1 (Start a service tool).
Select option 7 (Hardware service manager).
Select option 2 (Logical hardware resources).
Select option 1 (System bus resources). On the Logical Hardware
Resources on System Bus display, the less than (<) symbol indicates the IOP that the console is attached
to.
Use option 9 (Resource associate with IOP and display detail)
to find the location of the system bus, board, and card.
