VTERM (CONSOLE) NOT WORKING

Log in the HMC CLI as hscroot and type:

#vtmenu

Select the lpar with the vterm problem to try to open console from here.

If you are still not prompted in AIX please follow the below steps:

From ssh session directly into the AIX LPAR, run these commands:

#lscons
/dev/null <<======= this should be vty0 (or whatever is marked as available in #lsdev -Cc tty);

#lsdev -Cc tty
vty0 available
vty1 defined
vty2 defined

#smitty console       

-> assign the console to /dev/vty0 (or whatever is marked as available in #lsdev -Cc tty);

Reboot after the console change. Things should be working again.
