Bringing Up a Command Line Console

After you have connected your console to the IBM 2212, and have powered on the console and the IBM 2212, you will see a sequence of informational status messages. When you see the prompt Please press the space bar to obtain the console, press the space bar to attach the IBM 2212 to your session. The system acknowledges this action with the message Console granted to this interface, and by displaying a command prompt after the code loading is complete.

If you are at an IBM 2212 that has never been configured, the system presents the command prompt Config (only)>. You can then proceed with the initial configuration. If the IBM 2212 has been configured adequately, the system presents the OPCON command prompt (*).

If the IBM 2212 determines during the boot process that the operational code on the hard drive or compact flash is unusable, it will boot to the service recovery function (SVC> prompt). The full operational code is not loaded and only the commands needed to restore the IBM 2212 hard drive or compact flash to an operational state are available. The SVC> prompt can also be manually accessed as described in Accessing the Service Recovery Prompt (SVC>). See the Access Integration Services Software User's Guide for a complete list of the commands.
