Well, I read that paper. Lots of assumptions in there about z/OS knowledge that
I don't have, like where it talks about "V CN(MVS0MAST),OFFLINE". I have no V
(I assume that's VARY?) in any of my CONSOLxx members.
I do have a CNGRP00, which contains:
GROUP NAME(MSTGRP)
MEMBERS(S0W103D0,S0W10FFF)
Now that's 3D0 and FFF: 3D0 is a DASD. Seems wrong? The INIT in CONSOL00 is
INIT CMDDELIM(;) AMRF(N) MONITOR(DSNAME) CNGRP(00)
so it's looking at that console group. If I change the 3D0 to 3E1 to match the
actual console address, is that likely to help/hurt? What I'd rather not do is
kill the beast and require help from our hosting service--not that they won't
help, but we'll have to wait at least a bit for that.
(BTW, a nit: "Screenshot 1 - z/VM Login Screen with Dial Command" on page 6 has
no DIAL command on the screen)
