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.
