<div class="section">If the system is logically partitioned, references to the system,
console, displays, system commands, and system values are relative to the
partition having a problem. References to the control panel refer to the "Work
with partition" status display functions if the problem is in a secondary
partition, or the actual control panel if the problem is in the primary partition.</div>

steps:</span> <ol type="a"><li>Make sure the primary console controller (for example, CTL01) and device
description (for example, DSP01) have been created or restored. To check the
device description, use the command WRKCFGSTS *CTL.</li>
<li>If descriptions exist, check the system operator message to determine
why the primary console failed. </li>
