Re: Twinax console refuses to give signon screen

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That leaves a bad twinax adapter card. I have seen ports
dropped before. It's rare, but it will happen. How many
other devices are attached to port 0 ????

Are all other ports "reporting in" with attached devices ???

Have you attached the terminal and did a "cold start" IPL.

This will often times correct small problems that might
not be apparent during normal operations. You could
have lost port 0 a while back and never noticed it if
there are NO other devices attached to the port that would
have failed.
