Status messages when you have connection problems

 

These status messages help you identify whether you have connection problems.

These status messages indicate that you do have connection problems:

Remote control panel unavailable

This appears during an initial connection to a system. It shows when there is a problem with the remote control panel cable and the connection, and you choose not to retry the connection.

Connecting remote control panel

This appears when the connection fails during the initial connection or stops working after the initial connection. Possibly, the remote control panel cable is disconnected. This status disappears when you solve the problem.

Connecting console

This is the normal status while the console is making the initial connection to a system. If it shows for more than a couple of minutes, the connection failed. It also shows when the connection stops working after the initial connection, possibly because the cable is disconnected.

Connecting console or Connecting remote control panel

This appears when the console and remote control panel connections fail or stop working, possibly because the Operations Console cable and remote control panel cable are disconnected. This status disappears when you solve the problem.

Console unavailable

This appears when there is a problem during an initial connection to a system, and you choose not to retry the connection. It typically shows when the Operations Console connection modem is not available, but the Operations Console cable is attached. The Operations Console connection modem is not a physical modem but a logical device driver that comes with Operations Console and allows a local console to connect to a system.

Console unavailable or Remote control panel unavailable

It indicates that there is a problem with the console connection, possibly because the Operations Console connection modem is not available or the console cable is disconnected. Operations Console connection modem is not a physical modem but a logical device driver that comes with Operations Console and allows a local console to connect to a system. It also indicates that there is a problem with the remote control panel connection, possibly because the remote control panel cable is disconnected.

If the local console is configured to start in unattended mode, the local console is not in control and cannot disconnect normally.
