The easy way, if your console session simply got disconnected, but the
console is still online and active from MVS's point of view:

    1. Connect a tn3270 session to the console address (in a Turnkey MVS
system this would be 010 or 011)    2. Press the RESET key    3. Press
the CLEAR key    4. Press the ENTER key

If this sequence doesn't work, the console probably experienced I/O
errors and might have been deactivated and/or taken offline by MVS. To
recover it in this case do the following:

    1. Disconnect any previously connected "dead" tn3270 console session
from Hercules    2. Connect a tn3270 session to the console address (in
a Turnkey MVS system this would be 010 or 011). You should see the
Hercules logo screen now. Verify that you connected to the correct
address, which is displayed as "Device number : 0xxx" on the Hercules
logo screen.    3. Logon to TSO on a separate tn3270 session with a user
sufficiently authorized to issue MVS commands (IBMUSER would do  [:)] )
4. Enter IM to start Greg Price's interactive monitoring program    5.
Enter menu option O (OS console monitor)    6. Enter
/v xxx,online
(where xxx is the console address) and press ENTER.    7. Enter
/v xxx,console,auth=all
and press ENTER.    8. The console should now be working, if not -->
You're probably out of luck  [:(]     9. Terminate IM on the TSO session
by pressing PF3 twice.

Hope that helps...
