SRCs A6005001, A6005004, and A6005007

These system reference codes (SRCs) are used for a console that fails during IPL (not Operations Console).

The following SRCs might be displayed for twinaxial consoles.

A6005001

A console resource (controller) was not found when the server was started.

A6005004

A console device was not found when the server was started. A twinaxial controller was found but cannot be used. This is only indicating the presence of a controller. It is not indicating the controller can be defective.

A6005007

A console device was not found when the server was started. The controller (6A59) was found but the connection is starting. This can be a problem with the device or emulator, or the data flow path is not being established or maintained.

These SRCs, as well as the attention light, are reset when a console is detected and becomes active. It is possible that you might have to restart the server to find a console device again if one of these SRCs exists for a long period of time, depending on many factors, including model, hardware present, etc. You can force the server to try to find the console again by doing a function 21 from the control panel, remote control panel, or virtual control panel. You can also use the console service functions (65+21) to gather data or attempt recovery.
