System reference code A6005008

Use this table if you received reference codes A6005008. 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.

If you are attempting to use a twinaxial console the only data relevant in this SRC is word 16. Use the table below to determine the twinaxial failure. The first 4 characters of this word contains the last 4 characters of the original failure type. For example, if word 16 contained 50010001, the twinaxial-related SRC code would be A6005001 and the console type is set to use a twinaxial console. Refer to that SRC code.
If you are attempting to use Operations Console select the appropriate section in the table below as follows:
- Local console on a network uses words 13, 14, and 15.
- Local console directly attached to the server uses words 17, 18, and 19.

Note: If you just replaced the LAN adapter associated with Operations Console (LAN), you need to wait at least 35 minutes for the server to find and use the new LAN adapter card. In this case, once the server is satisfied it will start using the new adapter, the console should start and the reference code will go away.

LAN
If Word 13 value is:	Failure	Word 14 means:	Word 15 means:
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.
2	LAN IOA failed to report
3	Hardware error	Common error codes: 53001A80,53002AC0 Network, cable or the LAN adapter may not be operational. Error code: 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. For other error codes contact your service provider.	Card position or serial number of adapter
4	BOOTP status: If attempts are zero, then BOOTP is ready, when called. If attempts have a value, then the PC did not respond	Attempts	Card position or serial number of adapter
5	Server's LAN connection is active but the PC failed to connect - Is the PC & server on the same network? Using the same protocol? Can the PC ping the server? (`ping serverhostname`)	IP address	Card position or serial number of adapter
Word 16		The twinaxial-related SRC is represented by the first 4 characters. The console type value is represented by the last 4 characters in the form xxxx xxxx. 00 = Not defined by user (old default value), see note below. 01 = Twinaxial 02 = Operations Console (direct) 03 = Operations Console (LAN)

Cable
If Word 17 value is:	Failure	Word 18 means:	Word 19 means:
1	Async card not detected
2	No cables detected	Card position	Card type
3	Wrong cable detected	Card position	Cable ID
4	Port in use	Card position	Card type
FA	Not configured for direct cable

Note: It is expected that a D-mode IPL with a new load source DASD will show the console mode 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 an the console mode value was not retrieved in time. In these cases you can use the console service function to set a console mode value or attempt to contact the console again.
