Story:
Today we got new (old) IBM P6 550, 8203-E8A Server, we already have three like this one in our environment .
I spent almost whole day to get log in prompt for VIOS server.
Then I boot VIOS, after initializing NFS successfuly command, nothing happens.
Someone before us used HMC to manage server and changed setting somewhere.
Steps to get login prompt:
1.First of all you need to reset server trough service processor o ASM interface (Advanced System Management web interface to manage the hardware) to get to the SMS menu.
2. After resetting server, boot to SMS and if you have the EXACTLY same VIOS version DVD, boot from this DVD to the maintenance mode, lload VG with shell and enter this command:
chdev -l vty0 -a runmodes='hupcl,cread,brkint,icrnl,opost,tab3,onlcr,isig,icanon,echo,echoe,echok,echoctl,

If you don't have same version DVD, reinstall VIOS, and go to the step 1 or 2.
New Power series and AIX does not utilize tty0 but vty0, and "clocal" option was what needed by vty0 to function properly.
