Actually an IPL may not bring them back! I am playing with our brand-new z9bc and lost one of my consoles as well. Since I'm just playing right now, I went ahead and IPLed the LPAR and the console didn't come back. As the other repliers said, you need to vary the devices back to console status, either from an SDSF session or from the HMC. I brought it back from the HMC using the command V consolid,CONSOLE

We temporarily lost the network communication between the two OSA interfaces and the two PCs that emulate the consoles so we lost our two consoles. Is there a way to recover these consoles sessions without doing an IPL? Thank you very much. ************************************************************ Francois Pare Universite Laval Service de l'informatique et des telecommunications Pavillon Casault Ste-Foy (Quebec) Canada G1K 7P4 tel.: 418-656-2131 ext. 4013 fax: 418-656-7305 ************************************************************ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
