Learn how to grant a user the privilege to take over a
console, and then how to enable the console takeover and recovery
function.
Before you can perform a console takeover, you must have the
privilege to take over the console. Use the following procedure to
grant the privilege, and then continue with the next procedure to
enable console takeover.
To grant a user the privilege to take over
a console using dedicated service tools (DST) or system service tools
(SST), perform the following steps:
- Access service tools using DST or SST.
- If you are using DST, select Work with DST environment.
- If you are using SST, select Work with service tools
user IDs and devices.
- Select Service tools user IDs.
- Type a 7 in front of the desired user ID
and press Enter.
- Scroll down until you find the Take over console option
and type a 2 on that line to grant the user
this privilege.
- Press Enter.
To repeat this procedure for additional user IDs, repeat steps
4 and 5.
Notes: - The privilege to take over a console is used the next time the
user ID signs on.
- When a user signs on at a device capable of taking over the console,
the status of the Take over the console field
is updated. To reflect a change such as a user being granted the takeover
console privilege, the user must exit the Console Information
Status window using F3 or F12 and
then sign on again.
To enable the console takeover and recovery function using
DST or SST, perform the following steps:
- Access service tools using DST or SST.
- If you are using DST, select Work with DST environment,
and then System devices.
- If you are using SST, select Work with service tools
user IDs and devices.
- Select Select Console.
- Type a 1 in the Allow
console recovery and console can be taken over by another console option
and press Enter.
The console takeover option takes effect immediately.
