These are some solutions to problems that occur when a local console that is directly attached fails to connect to a server.
Under certain circumstances a local console that is directly attached fails to connect. This might be the result of the server's asynchronous communications adapter being deactivated for some reason, such as an exception that takes place. This most likely results when you start your server and have an associated system reference code (SRC) on the control panel or Hardware Management Console )HMC), if installed, along with the attention light.
To reset the asynchronous communications adapter with or without an HMC, see Deactivating the asynchronous communications adapter on the server.
If the deactivation is successful, the Function/Data window (or the HMC) displays D1008065.
To activate the asynchronous communications adapter on the server with or without an HMC, see Activating the asynchronous communications adapter on the server.
The system attempts to initialize the adapter. If it is successful, the Function/Data window (or the HMC) displays D1008066. If it cannot initialize the asynchronous communication adapter, it displays D1008065 after attempting to activate the asynchronous communications adapter. If the expected SRC is not displayed after several minutes on servers without an HMC, see Failure to display D1008065 and D1008066 automatically after calling the function.
