The devices first must be defined to an OSCONFIG so that they can be added to a NIP  Console list within an OSCONFIG.  The NIP console list also determines which console receives the NIP/IPL messages first. If  that console is unavailable, NIP tries the next device in the list until all devices in the list are  tried.  If NIP cannot write IPL messages to any 3270-X device in the list, the messages are written to  the HMC Operating System Messages panel. To view these messages, complete the following steps: 1. Select the LPAR for IPL on the HMC. 2. Click the  >>  breakout symbol that is next to the LPAR name. Chapter 13. Adding network devices  303
