When a managed system hangs the virtual terminal and selecting close open terminal does not release it. I have tried rebooting / shutdown / power down and power remove, but, nothing releases it. The only thing that seems to work is removing it as a managed system and then reconfiging it into the HMC --- This works fine for a basic managed system installation, but, one with a number of lpars defined is painful to put back.

anyone have any other suggestions?

Yes - call your local IBM SupportLine.

While hopefully someone watching a forum might have seen your issue, you should rely on IBM techincal support to help you debug your problem.

Don't wait - call now - since your company has surely paid for software support for the HMC, please take advantage!

I tried that, and that is where I was told to drop the managed server and rebuild it into the HMC. I was told about this new forum and thought I would give it a try.

Thanks anyway, Bill

When you said you rebooted, power cycled, etc, were you referring to rebooting the HMC or the managed system/partition?

Did you try opening and closing the vterm session via the HMC command line as well as through the GUI?

Try those if you haven't already done so. The hmc command line programs for the consoles are "mkvterm", "rmvterm", and "vtmenu". And to reboot the hmc is "hmcshutdown"
