Standby consoles

A standby console can be defined for each console if NBCONOPI=N is specified. Upon failure of a console, the standby console assigned to it is activated automatically. If standby consoles are not defined in the parameter service, they are selected by the system by means of an internal algorithm.
The operator can change the assignments or switch over to standby consoles (see the CONSOLE command).

If NBCONOPI=Y is specified, the “Standby console” function is not available.
