Re: IPL Error

We found that we had a similar situation except that we found it on the
first IPL of a V5R3 upgrade.  Our original twinax console had died last
year and was replaced with another twinax terminal but was never set to
address 0.  A normal IPL found it plugged into port 0 but this one did not.
If you do a normal IPL does the console show up under QINTER or QCTL?  If
QINTER I would say that it's the address.

For a twinax terminal to be a "console" it must be set to address 0 and
be on port 0 of the first twinax controller.  Anything else will *only*
work when the OS is running (after IPL).
