- No replies pending on console.
- All volume sets and disk devices are available, healthy, and not full.
- There is no active session on LDEV 20, but checking :SHOWDEV again shows
it as "UNAVAIL", by "SYS: #1". I did an ABORTIO on that LDEV until it
confirmed there was no more I/O..now the console will not respond to a
CRTL-A anymore, although it will to a CTRL-B.
- I swtiched the console to my device temporarily, and now cannot switch
console back to LDEV 20 as it says "Device is owned by another process".

We are on MPE/iX 6.5

I expect we're going to schedule a reboot, but will probably have to wait
until the weekend.
