As far as I am aware, the actual console can only be assigned to one device
at a time. Usually, during an install or maintenance boot the firmware
broadcasts to all the available terminals so that you can choose whichever
one you want at that time. (That can depend on the particular hardware.)
Of course, you're then stuck with that 'til the next time.
If all you want is to be able to login to a running system on a different
terminal then you don't need to change the console, just define the
appropriate tty and enable it for logins.
What is it that you need this terminal for?

Subject: tty1 or tty2 how about both?
We kvm (keyboard video mouse) in remotely on tty1 (sa0).
But sometimes I need to tty in, in front of the aix node, on tty2 (sa1).
It looks like I need issue 2 commands to move my console to tty2;
How can I use both com1 and com2 to shell in?
#chcons -a login=enable /dev/tty1
chcons: console login enabled, effective on next system boot
chcons: console assigned to: /dev/tty1, effective on next system boot
#penable /dev/tty1
