RE: A6005008 TwinAx Console Problems

I think that is what option 65 is on the front panel, it tells the system
the console type.  I remember once trying to get OpConsole up, IBM support
walked me thru changing this setting in the control panel.

There is a setting that specifies what type of console the system has.  
On V5R3 one can use STRSST option #8.  I think there is, also, a Dedicated
Services Tools (DST) option.  This, according to the V5R4 upgrade manual,
anyway, is what determines what console the system will look for during a D
IPL.


Sounds like your system is still set for Ops Console.

Hi Everyone

I am having a frustrating time trying to D type IPL a 9406 820 with a 
V5R3
I_BASE_01 CD.

It does the usual hang on C6004031 and then throws up the SRC A6005008 
where it cannot find a console.

The machine is using a 2746 TwinAx card and I have so far tried 
putting it into C03 and C04 but still to no avail. I have also swapped 
out the TwinAx card with another one from another machine, I have 
swapped the TwinAx cable and also the the 8 Port TwinAx block (N.B. 
The port I am using is Port 0)

The machine was originally purchased as an Ops Console box but we dont 
use it here as we prefer TwinAx.

I have tried the 65+21 service functions, but when I try them I cannot 
get the 65 unless I do 25+26 first and then 65 becomes available.

Getting really frustrated, as I am sure there is something small I 
have missed!

Any help as always is greatly appreciated,

Martin.
