Changing from one console type to another

Depending on how your console connection is set up, you can change to a different console type.

As part of your migration, you might need to deallocate the LAN adapter from use by the Operations Console. For instructions on deallocating or moving the LAN adapter, see the Deallocating or moving the LAN adapter card topic.

If you are using an IBM® i model that uses a Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can change from HMC to LAN Console or from LAN Console to HMC. For further details, see the Managing consoles, interfaces, and terminals > Changing consoles, interfaces, and terminals topic in the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center.

For information regarding the Hardware Management Console (HMC), see the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center.
