Chapter 9. Troubleshooting Guide
The device(s) in question should only appear as a defined device to the LPAR that they
have been dedicated to. If the same device appears in the list for more than one LPAR or
if it appears in the list for the wrong LPAR, this is an indication that the Device Candidate
List is not correct.
An example of the display resulting from the console command is shown below CHPID
1F. Device 2FA0 shows itself to be online. All other device addresses in the 2FA1-2FAF
range appear as not existing.

In the VM/ESA environment, you need to use the command:
q chpid xx
where xx represents the CHPID that you are trying to identify the path information for.

q chpid 0b

If the device in question appears in the list for the CHPID, but it is not supposed to
belong to this LPAR, then it is an indication that the Device Candidate List is not right.
Only the Foreground Console Session Can be Activated
When multiple console sessions are configured to a single terminal, but only the
foreground session can be varied active, this is probably due to the configuration of one
of the options in the SCON. It is necessary to configure the “Delayed Power On Notify”
option to be disabled. This option can be found on the “Device Options - General” panel
in the SCON configuration.
