Billy,
>From a CMS userid on that system, did you try entering: HELP HCPCPN6283I
Doing that on our system shows:

HCP6283I Device rdev cannot be varied online because no channel path is
available.

completed its hardware initial microcode load.)
o Hardware malfunction; the device is not responding.

Look at ALL the possibilities above before leaping.
BTW: don't you just hate it when a message "Response" asks YOU to do
something when you don't have an answer? <sigh>

MP2000 OSA Card
Hello all,
Trying to IPL VM/ESA 2.4 on an old MP2000. The box IPLs OK, but when tring
to vary the OSA online I get the HCPCPN6283I... message. I do a QUERY on
the device and VM shows it as an OSA, but it's offline. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Billy
