What does D C say? Does z/OS still think the device is a console? If so, IEARELCN is what you need to do.
Or, a sysplex wide IPL - one where the sysplex is reinitialized. An example, SYSA, SYSB, SYSC are in a sysplex. You shut down all three, and you know that SYSC was the last system to shut down. Now, you IPL SYSA or SYSB. This will force the sysplex to reinitialize.
