Subject says it all. IBM i 6.1. I varied off the Ethernet line to make some configuration changes and intended to connect using the Operations console (should have done it the other way around I guess). Ops console prompted me for Service tools user ID and password and console only displays a screen with the following highlighted at the bottom:

Console recovery / take over is currently turned off.

Remote Control Panel does not display so I am not exactly sure how to proceed. I could force an IPL the hard way but if there is a graceful way to recover, I'd love to hear it.
