Your virtual machine definition has to be in synch with the guest OS. Your console definitions are part of that.

I do wonder if this will Just Work at IPL time, or not until that VARY is issued. I guess I'll find out when I get a chance. So presumably the thing that connects this is: CONSOLE DEVNUM(FFF) ROUTCODE(ALL) UNIT(3277-2) AUTH(ALL) DEL(RD) RNUM(19) RTME(1) MFORM(J,T) SEG(19) AREA(NONE) NAME(S0W10FFF) It's certainly what led me to try that device address. 03E1 is the "real" console per z/VM (that's what QUERY VIRTUAL CONSOLE shows on the guest). And that wants to be in TERMINAL CONMODE 3270, I think. Certainly when it is, and you log onto it, you get the scrolling full-screen z/OS console. Wish I understood this better--I'm sure it's all there, just not in terms I grok as a VMer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
