Yes same as Connect. It has been my experience that having the 'OSA page' prior to any attempt at use is a requirement for consoles. We always make sure the ICC consoles are in that OSA connected state PRIOR to starting an IPL. Connecting AFTER IPL you will have to VARY the device ONLINE before use.
It only appears to be an issue after a POR. Just a re-IPL does not seem to affect it. Note that after a POR you MUST 'Connect' even if the screen appears to be at the 'OSA page'. It may just be a holdover from prior to the POR. FYI, as the PC's used for the consoles are rarely rebooted, we make it a point that with a POR we reboot them at the same time, saves a possible outage later.

If so, that only got us to the OSA page where it displays OSA information and the workstation IP and junk like that. No console. We had to manually vary the PC address to be a console. Even though it's defined in CONSOL00. I don't know if the operators did the Disconnect/Connect before the IPL though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
