POWER7 information
If you plan to use a different console after the server upgrade, ensure that the target console is prepared. This information can assist you in preparing for a different console.
Ensure that the target console is set up and ready. The target console must be running and tested as a stand-alone server before the authorized service provider arrives.
When
possible, use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to manage your system.
The HMC provides
the easiest, most reliable method to access a console session during
your upgrade. Ensure that your HMC is at the correct code
level. For supported levels, see IBM® Prerequisite
.
