I am upgrading my vHMC following the steps at: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6372280
I have ran the step: hmcshutdown -t now -r It started the reboot. It's been sitting at a screen displaying the following for quite some time now:
IBM Linux 9 (hmc9_0p)
Kernel 4.18.0-193.14.3.el8.im.1.x86_64 on an x86_64
localhost login:
I tried logging in as hscroot. It did not like that. Then it erased the screen and redisplayed the above.
What do I do?

I have a case opened with IBM on this. However they never get back to you on the same day regarding HMC issues until you bring the duty manager on the line. Once it's been here for two hours I will try that route.
