Telnet nor FTP are not availble to run remore commands to vary on Console.

I wouldn’t expect that to be an error condition. I’d expect it simply to continue when the system is ready to respond.
However, if you have waited longer than a reasonable time for the backup to finish (plus maybe an extra half hour or so for a general margin of error), then have you tried the Resetting the managed system connection from the HMC procedure?
You really should have an alternate console defined.

Tom,
I haven’t tried,I will try this next time when i get same problem. With that,I believe we only reset the connection b/w server and HMC,and with that we will be getting the console back for access?
Note:server went for IPL after the backup and now able to connect to HMC.
Do you have an HMC console session established on your PC?
Yes I configured HMC session through iSeries Client access.
What subsystem is your Q#HMC session running in?
QCTL
I’m not sure why you’d not be able to re-establish the console session. I’ve had that happen to me, but it was an issue with the HMC not the iSeries. If you’re up to date on the HMC OS & PTFs the only thing I can recommend is to contact IBM when it happens.
I’ve had an HMC become unavailble due to too many log files building up. If you are on an older version of the HMC OS you have to call IBM and get a cd that will clear the log files when you boot from it and get you back in. Check with IBM on that and make sure you clear the logs before that happens.
We are at latest level on HMC.i.e V7R7.2..i guess i no need to bother about those log files?
You’re should be good.
