Nope. Until the LIC stack is up and running the VCP (Virtual Control Panel) isn't available.

This is one situation where having a LAN connection to the service processor is useful though because you can log in to ASMI and power up the server from there. Also there is a (fairly lame but useful) front panel progress display there as well. It's output only but it does show the SRC codes so you can watch progress until the VCP and the console come up.

I must admit that I have little experience with LAN console (or HMC for
that matter.)

Back when I did day to day admin, we had a twinax console.

However was doing some stuff this weekend and notice that the LAN console,
both 5250 session and remote control panel would disappear when the system
was powered down.

I was a bit surprised at this, I expect the remote control panel to remain
available. Especially since I know the service processor in a IBM x86 stays
up when the system is powered down.

Is this working as designed or is something not right in the system?

Thanks!
