After a POR, I would not expect any OSA sessions to be active. I'll assume that you did a normal shutdown and deactivation of each LPAR. This would tend to leave the OSA banner page. The POR would have reset the OSA cards, thus breaking any session with the PC TN3270 software. I cannot remember any options in the OSA console configuration that requests or enables the TN3270 session to be initiated from the processor. I believe that it has to come from each PC. I think there are some TN3270 programs that have an automatic session re-establishment option that you could set to an infinite or very large number of retries. Therefore my best guess as to what happened to you would be: If your POR profile automatically activates/loads your LPARs, or you started your IPLs before you have re-initiated your TN3270 sessions, then z/OS will find all of your consoles offline.
