Has anyone using Ops Console upgraded from v4.5 to 5.1? I just wanted to post a heads-up that might save some of you a few hours of aggravation. Right after the first PWRDWNSYS in order to load the LIC, the console went down / disconnected (as expected.) But then it didn't come back up. I tried loading a service pack, multiple retries, checked that the Ops Console version was correct (5.1), cables, multiple IPL's, etc. We kept ending up w/ SRC A600 5008, which probably means "console not found" (I found a reference to a similar msg and A600 5001, which applies to a failed attempt to have an ASCII 3151 terminal as the console.) Anyway, to make a loooong story short, it turns out that V5.1 requires that the 2 cards be swapped and the (serial?) cable moved back to the upper card. One card has a network (RJ-45) connection and a small serial (actually it looks more like a mini Centronics connector) connection and the other card has 2 serial connectors. After powering down, unplugging the machine, swapping the cards, reconnecting the cable, closing up the unit, plugging it back in (the whole process took about 10-15 minutes), the IPL/console fired up w/o a hitch. -mark
