Re: Post Ethernet Install Woes - Need Help

[Chuck Morehead <cbmorehead@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Two thoughts on this.  First, follow the instructions for changing the panel
until you see "02 B M" - but do it until you see "02 B N"  This means IPL
from machine area B in Normal (unattended) mode.

Secondly, it sounds as if you may have multiple line descriptions configured
for a single resource.  If this is the case, the first one the system varies
on will be available and the others will not vary on.  The solution is to
vary off the descriptions you don't want varied on, and then change their
descriptions to vary on at IPL *NO.  Then you should be able to vary the
Ethernet line on, and this should not happen again.
