The output from Q VSWITCH shows that your OS/390 TCPIP stack has not yet registered it's IP address to the VSWITCH. You should be looking for error messages in your OS/390 TCPIP and VTAM logs. You may also need to make sure that the appropriate VTAM nodes have been activated sucessfully

You can force a console address. In LOAD screem, type into LOADPARM field a known 3270 (local nsna) address. 1010 is a wait state code indicating a usable console could not be found. IPL VM with that address in LOADPARM. For example if your IPL volume is on address 0100 and your 3270 is at
