Figure 2-2 Enabling of Virtual COM Console
You can enable the virtual COM console for LPARs on Logical Partition
configuration screen of LPAR manager screens. Place the cursor on the VC
column of an LPAR line which you need to enable the virtual COM console,
and press [F1] to display a sub-screen. Select a VC number to connect by
moving the cursor with the up and down arrow keys, and press [Enter].
This allows you to connect to the LPAR guest screen via telnet. A TCP port
is displayed, which is used to connect to Comment when you place the
cursor on the VC column of the LPAR line via telnet.
This TCP port is used in "(2) Connecting to LPARs". This operation can be
done regardless of the status of an LPAR, activate or deactivate, at any
time.
