FWVTHMC

If you received symbolic FRU FWVTHMC, perform the following procedure:

1. The partition firmware is waiting for a virtual terminal to be opened on the management console. Open a virtual terminal.
2. If a virtual terminal is open, the user might have entered a CTRL-S key sequence to stop the scrolling of data off the screen. If this is the case, enter a CTRL-Q key sequence to resume scrolling.
3. Check the Ethernet connection between the management console and the managed system.
4. Reboot the management console.
5. There might be a hardware problem with the management console. For the Hardware Management Console (HMC), see Hardware Management Console models 7042-CR4, 7042-C06, and 7042-C07 service. For the IBM® Systems Director Management Console (SDMC), see Systems Director Management Console service.
6. There might be a hardware problem with the service processor in the managed system. Check the service action event log for error codes that indicate a problem with the Ethernet ports on the service processor. Take the appropriate actions based on the error codes that you find.

This ends the procedure.
