Hello, as far as I know you have to define your new OSA-ICC console in the system config file as Emergency_Message_Console. Otherwise you will not see the shutdown messages.

We're thinking maybe the operator didn't wait for the shutdown to finish before doing the IPL. We recently changed from 3174 console controllers to OSA-ICC. I've noticed that when the shutdown is complete, we no longer see the completion message on the emulator session. Instead, we see a banner like this: ** OSC Index 3 connected to OSC0180 via IP Addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024 ** ** LT Index=2 CSSID= 0 MIFID= 7 CU=0 UA=0 LUName=Lxxxx180 ** ** Type=2094-S54 Mfg=IBM SN=0000000xxxxx CHPID=66 Status=Active ** I'm wondering if this banner appears BEFORE the shutdown has finished. Does it? If it does, I suppose I'll have to tell the operators to check for a PSW wait state on the HMC before they IPL.
