Operations Console remains in QCTL

These are some solutions for when Operations Console remains in QCTL when it should be CTLxx.

This situation is usually present after a migration, but can be found any time you are working with system resources. QCONSOLE still remains in QCTL when you might expect it to be reassigned as another workstation.

Verify that the system is not starting with DEBUG turned on. A good indication is that no other interactive subsystem is starting, if present, and others might also be absent. Check to see that SYSVAL QIPLTYPE is set to 0.

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