It's 2AM, Do You Know Where Your Console Is?

The IBM i restricted state (DSP01) Console environment is an oft neglected part of System Administration/Management. Many things allow systems to run months or even years without needing to connect this system Console.

In this session we will go over the configuration and usage best practices for both the HMC and LAN Console environments.
