That's exactly what you would hear from me. Well..... maybe not *that* bad, but...
Ever since we installed the z890 we have had console outages that have included ALL of the PCs on the private ICC network, and that have only been corrected by varying off/on the CHPID at the HMC. (We have not seen a situation where only one or more LUs were disabled, but others worked. All or nothing here). We have opened multiple hardware incidents with IBM here in Israel, and our hardware support technician has tried all sorts of changes (the OSA card, the cableing, the network switch) but every month or so it happens again. "Get IBM to fix them" is easier said than done. Luckily, our ops do have one 3270 emulator on an old 3174, which has been very helpful! Interestingly, the network has *two* OSA cards, but only the VM/VSE one with 4 terminals has caused problems. The other system, running 1 z/OS console, has never gotten stuck.
