Yes :-)) I got hit 2 times on my z/990's after a problem on my network fibers , 3 things : 1: it fails after some interruption on the network and the port defined does not work anymore ( in our case our CWDM hardware was the trigger ) 2: The recovery is just impossible with all known commands , and i have opened a hardware call to tackle this recovery ucode problem 3: the good news : in order to recover ,this is what we did and it worked both case ( first time it took hours to figure it out ) Go to you HMC ICC panel and change the port you were using ( in my case i use 9900) , change this port to whatever let us say 8800 , activate the new ICC config , then when it is done , put back port 9900 and activate again. You consoles will work again like a charm no need for ipl . ( and for info i reipled my sandbox partition , and it did not bring back the missing consoles for this lpar ) This procedure just recycles the ICC card code , and the port answers again I'll keep you posted when Hardware comes back with a ucode fix .
