DST console failed to respond. If an IPL did not find a console and if the console type is set to anything except a 1, the system will display code A6005008.
Response
If you just replaced the LAN adapter associated with Operations Console (LAN), you need to wait at least 35 minutes for the system to find and use the new LAN adapter. In this case, when the system is satisfied, it starts using the new adapter. The console should start, and the SRC is no longer shown.
If you are attempting to use a twinaxial console the only data relevant in this SRC is word 6. Use the information in the list below
for the meaning of word 6 to determine the twinaxial failure. The first 4 characters of word 6 contains the last 4 characters of the original failure type. For example, if word 6 contained 50010001, the twinaxial-related SRC would be A6005001 and the console type is set to use a twinaxial console. Refer to that SRC.
Word 6 in the form of xxxx yy zz means the following:
xxxx where:
The twinaxial-related SRC is represented by the first 4 characters.
yy where:
0A = No console tagged
zz where:
00 = Not defined by user (old default value)
01 = Twinaxial
02 = Operations Console (Direct) (obsolete)
03 = Operations Console (LAN )
04 = Hardware Management Console (HMC) or Thin Console
If you are attempting to use Operations Console, the local console on a network uses words 3, 4, and 5. Use words 3 through 5 to select the appropriate section in the following list.
Word 3 is "1": No supported HW detected or HW detected is not expected (for example, you replaced the LAN IOA so the serial number is different) In some cases the serial number of the expected adapter may be shown in word 5.
Word 3 is "2": The LAN IOA failed to report.
Word 3 is "3": Hardware error. Common error codes in word 4:
53001A80 and 53002AC0: Network, cable or the LAN adapter may not be operational. Word 5 may contain the card position or serial number of the adapter.
00000000: This error code indicates the adapter reported but has not been initialized yet. This is not considered an error, at this time. The adapter should be activated shortly. Word 5 may contain the card position or serial number of the adapter.
CC10031A: Adapter was activated but did not reach LinkUp state. The card was given more than a minute to link up to its partner (probably a switch) and it didn't do so. Likely conditions:
The cable is unplugged on one end or the other, or is defective.
The switch port is not operational.
Once this error code is received, the problem will not resolve itself until something restarts the device driver.
Word 5 may contain the card position or serial number of the adapter.
For other error codes contact your service provider. Word 5 may contain the card position or serial number of the adapter.
Word 3 is "4": BOOTP status: Word 4 contains the number of attempts. If attempts are zero, then BOOTP is ready, when called. If attempts have a value, then the PC did not respond. Word 5 may contain the card position or serial number of the adapter.
Word 3 is "5": The system's LAN connection is active but the PC failed to connect. Are the PC and system on the same network and using the same protocol? Can the PC ping the system? (ping serverhostname). Word 4 contains the IP address. Word 5 may contain the card position or serial number of the adapter.
Problem determination
Look at words 3-8 on the console. If words 3-5 are non-zero the failing item
is most likely an ASYNC card. If words 6-8 are non-zero the failing item is most likely a LAN card.
Word 7 meanings for the failure identified:
1 Async card not detected.
2 No cables detected. Word 8 is the Card position. Word 9 is the card type.
3 Wrong cable detected. Word 8 is the card position. Word 9 is the cable ID.
4 Port in use. Word 8 is the card position. Word 9 is the card type.
FA Not configured for direct cable
Note: It is expected that a D-mode IPL with a new load source direct access storage device (DASD) will show the console type value of 00. Examples of when this can occur might be that the copy of data from a failing DASD did not copy all data or you are installing a new logical partition. Also, there are times when the DASD is late reporting and the console type value was not retrieved in time. In these cases you can use the console service function to set a console type value or attempt to contact the console again.
