Hi,
When I try to start a VTERM I get the following:

The Open Failed
- The session may already be open on another management console
- The server may not be ready to accept connections
Error in communication path to the partition

When I disconnect and retry, I get a login screen but cannot type
anything!!!!!!

I have enabled Remote Virtual Terminals on the HMC.
The time/date is correct on the HMC.

What's going on?????? Anyone else had this before?

Cheers

Shands

Do you have a Power5 HMC or Power4 HMC. The Power5 I had to enable
some of the internal Power5 HMC firewall settings. The Power4 I don't
remember needing to do anything.

Are you doing this ON the HMC?
