Forcing a Hung MCS Console Offline

Thee are two forms of the RESET command. Use the following form to force a hung MCS console into the offline state.

After issuing the RESET CN command, you might need to vary the console between the offline state and the console state to complete device recovery. Issue this command only after exhausting all other means of console recovery such as:

	Verifying the physical path to the device
	Verifying the control unit the device is attached to
	If the device is attached to a channel extender, verifying that the channel extender is in working order
	Issuing a VARY OFFLINE command that fails
	Issuing a SWITCH CN command that fails.
