No console from DST either. I'm thinking hardware (card) has to be the problem at this point.

Thanks,

Pete

Can you force a DST signon using function 21 from the front panel?  If

At V5R3 the options should be:
        1 - Twinax
        2 - Ops Console (Direct)
        3 - Ops Console (Lan)
        4 - HMC

If you can force DST but changing this doesn't work, try deleting DSP01
then copying and renaming QCONSOLE to DSP01.  Also verify that DSPSYSVAL
SYSVAL(QCONSOLE) shows DSP01.

Thanks all.

Still stumped. Many have mentioned that the upper right indicates no communication. Yep. Me too. I know that. However if the same three cables and three terminals work on two other machines with no problem, what does that leave in the mix? Having even swapped the "brick" I am guessing the failure is the card itself. But wouldn't a faulty card be reported on the system somewhere?

Last night I decided to IPL in manual mode and I got SRC A600 5001 (predictably). Tried an IPL from CD thinking maybe somewhere there was a setting that was causing the console not to come up. Can't force this thing to see the console.

Tonight I'll try pulling the card and re-seating it though I still think

that the system configuration is somehow at the heart of the problem (although just how that is possible, I don't know). Also, I'll blow the

dust off the wrap plug and see if I can get to the bottom of this.

Console worked about 3 months ago when I applied a CUME and Group PTF's. Don't know why it would decide to NOT connect now.

As far as I know I don't have an alternative console option on this
machine.
