General considerations for Operations Console
Whether or not you have an HMC, there are several important factors to consider when planning to use Operations Console for one or more servers.
Important: Systems running the IBM® i operating system start counting
logical partitions with the number 1 (even if it is the only logical
partition) instead of a 0. For the console to connect correctly, your
client configuration must match the logical partition number. This
is important if you rely on the BOOTP process to configure the server
with its network data.
