Continuing the SRC A6070266 saga (we had the failed hard drive replaced by Service Express):

While doing a full system restore, the twinax console device power cycled. Now we have communication with the host, but we can't get the console back. The full system restore had stopped with a "Waiting for reply to message on message queue QSYSOPR."

This happened after restoring the LIC and signing on as QSECOFR to the console, defining the tape device, and running option 21 on the GO RESTORE menu. Can anyone suggest how to get the console back? I'm guessing it is now varied off?
