Re: Operations Console error 406 after updating to V7R3

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe some more information that will help:

Allow console recovery and console can be taken

    over by another console  . . . . . . . . .  2   1=Yes, 2=No



Select one of the following:

  Console type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  3

     1. Twinaxial

     2. Operations console(Direct)

     3. Operations console(LAN)

     4. Hardware management console(HMC)

Current state of console tag   . . . . . . . .  0    <------- THIS LOOKS
FISHY




Allow supported internal LAN adapter to

   be the console . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2   1=Yes, 2=No

Allow supported external LAN adapters to

   be the console . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1   1=Yes, 2=No




Why would the current state of the console tag be 0?
