IOP information. The console is tagged with a (<) character and the
alternative console is tagged with a (>) character. Note that the logical
partition may not have an alternative console. Note the logical address of
the console and alternative console. Use the logical address to determine
where the physical console is located.
5. If the logical partition does not have an alternate console but one is needed:
a. Determine if the customer has a workstation controller that can be switched
to this logical partition.
Does the customer have a workstation controller that can be switched?
Yes No
↓ There is no alternate console for the logical partition.
b. Have the customer switch the input-output processor (IOP) with an
available workstation to the logical partition that requires an alternate
console. Have the customer mark the IOP as the alternate console and note
the IOP’s physical location.
Locating a secondary partition’s load source
Use this procedure to locate a logical partition’s load source from the logical
partition’s console.
1. Are you using the primary partition’s console?
No Yes
↓ From the primary partition’s console, go to “Locating a secondary
partition’s load source from the primary partition’s console” on
page 140.
2. From the secondary partition’s console, go to “Locating a secondary partition’s

Locating a secondary partition’s load source from the
secondary partition’s console
Use this procedure to locate a logical partition’s load source from the logical
partition’s console.
1. Go to the console of the logical partition.
2. From the SST or DST display, select the Start a service tool option.
3. Select Hardware Service Manager.
4. Look for the load source. The load source is tagged with an asterisk (*) on the
screen under the IOP information. Note that the partition may not have an
alternate load source.
Does the logical partition have an alternate load source?
No Yes
↓ Note the logical address of the alternate load source. Use the logical
address to determine where the physical load source is located.
5. Is an alternate load source required?
Yes No
↓ This ends the procedure.
6. Determine if the customer has an available alternate load source on an IOP in
another logical partition that can be switched to this logical partition.
