Hi Mark,

Are you able to log on from anywhere?  If so, try a DSTAT ALL to see if any of the drives are showing a problem.

This is pretty much how the system will act if an MPEXL vol set drive isn't responding.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Console not responding

Hey folks.

We have a 700/96 connected to our 939KS/020 as the console. This morning, we
can't get a login prompt on it. We can Ctrl-B just fine, we see console
messages, and showdev looks normal. We checked the terminal and datacomm
config ... all OK. We even hooked up another known good 700/96, and get the
same behavior.

A bit of recent history ... we recently had an overtemp condition in our
machine room on Tuesday, and the system shut down. The Model 20 we have
connected wouldn't come back up until we replaced one of the (supposedly
redundant?) SP's, and then the machine seemed to boot fine. It ran without
incident the rest of Tuesday and all day yesterday.

So, any ideas? I vaguely remember reading about problems if the console
buffer filled up, but don't recall any details, especially how to clear that
condition if, in fact, it exists.
