Hello. I recently upgraded to a new Power 8 server and running AIX 7.1.
I migrated from an IBM P520 and AIX 5.5.
My application on the P520 works best if I direct print, it doesn't work well with spooling. My IBM rep set up the new Power 8 server with spooling which is causing an issue.
My IBM rep can not figure out how to set up a serial printer and direct print on the new Power 8 server.
My software company is hesitant to get involved on the hardware side, and told me that they think I need a "digiport" device to accomplish serial printing. It needs to assign a TTY address to each printer.
My IBM rep said that he doesn't think I can print serial on new servers like this one.
Does anyone in the group know what external or internal device or software that I can purchase to be able to print serial with TTY devices?
Thank you...
