Re: A6005008 TwinAx Console Problems

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a setting that specifies what type of console the system has.  
On V5R3 one can use STRSST option #8.  I think there is, also, a 
Dedicated Services Tools (DST) option.  This, according to the V5R4 
upgrade manual, anyway, is what determines what console the system will 
look for during a D IPL.


Sounds like your system is still set for Ops Console.
