Re: IPL Error

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two things:

1.    Check that the console is at twinax controller 0, port 0, switch
setting 0.
2.    Double check, get the name of the console from the job name, and do a
DSPSYSVAL QCONSOLE and make sure it matches.

I was working from the console, our console is connected via twinax and
with
a normal IPL it loads fine, and we can log in from the console with no
problem, perform normal everyday routines, it is only when attempting a BM
that it fails.

The console is connected and powered on
