In the deep, dark past, you could recover from a "no consoles" condition by using the "External Interrupt" key on the CPU. It appears that you can still do this. But you must (1) logon to the HMC as SYSPROG or better (2) In the Views area, double click on "CPC Recovery" (3) Double click on "Single Object Operations" on the right hand side of the screen (4) You are now in the SE (5) In the Views area, double click on "Task List" (6) In the "Task list" displayed on the bottom part of the screen, double click on "CP Toolbox" (7) In the Views area, double click on "Groups" (8) In the Groups (bottom part of screen), click on "Images" (9) In the Images (now on bottom of screen), select the LPAR you need (10) back on the right side in the "CP Toolbox", double click on "Interrupt". (11) z/OS should now try to find a working console to become the Master console (12) Back out of "Single Object Operations" mode. Click on the funny box with a slash through it to do this. (13) log the HMC back into OPERATOR (14) on the new master console, vary all the other consoles --- Have you tried doing a "LOGON myuser" on the HMC "Operating System Messages" screen? I do it all the time. But I am set up in RACF to be able to do it. I don't remember what all I need in RACF to do this (if, indeed, I need anything in particular). If interested, I'll go try to find out later. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
