Operations Console remains in QCTL

 

This situation typically shows up after a migration, but could be found at any time you have been working with resources. QCONSOLE still remains in QCTL when you would have expected it to be reassigned as another workstation.

Be sure that the system has not performed an IPL with DEBUG turned on. A good indication is that no other interactive subsystem has started, if present, and others may also be absent. Check SYSVAL QIPLTYPE it should be 0.

If the new console fails to work in i5/OS^® you may need to use another workstation to manually delete the controller and device description associated with the old console device.
