Known problem with Operations Console when upgrading to 7.1
When upgrading a 6.1 version of IBM i Access for Windows to 7.1, there is a known problem which causes the existing 6.1 Operations Console configurations to be lost.
This problem only affects the Operations Console configurations which exist on 6.1 IBM i Access for Windows prior to the upgrade to 7.1.
This problem may be resolved by either of the following ways:
- Apply 6.1 service pack SI41053 or later. Then start Operations Console which performs a necessary migration. Then you may upgrade to 7.1 at any time.
- To manually save the Operations Console configuration before the upgrade, and manually restore them after the upgrade, please refer to IBM Software Technical Document Number 573417334 Recording and Re-Creating the Operations Console Configuration.

- Users of Operations Console and the IBM eServer i5 550
The use of the (type-model 4812-001, feature codes 4812 and 4813), announced October 2004, will prevent LAN Operations Console from working on a single-tower i5/OS system. The Integrated xSeries Server takes up two card slots and requires the async adapter used for Operations Console to be moved to a new location. Also, LAN Operations Console and twinaxial consoles are not supported in this environment. This does not affect a system with multiple towers or a system using an HMC, where individual adapters can be tagged for specific functions.
