You can have vt1-7 via virtio GPU. See IBM Bug 172541  launchpad 1799467 for a 
feature tracker for that.

As soon as you have a vnc defition you can then redirect the sclp console to 
vnc as well. You have to use "vc" instead of "pty2. Virsh console will no 
longer work then as the sclp console is then available via vnc. You can then 
switch with ctrl-alt-1/2 between virtio-gpu and sclptty in the vnc.
When in virtio-gpu you can witch with alt-f1/f2/f3 between the vt instances.

For reference my xml looks like:

<console type='vc'>
<target type='sclp' port='0'/>
</console>
<input type='keyboard' bus='virtio'>
</input>
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
<listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
</graphics>
<video>
<model type='virtio' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
</video>

@Stefan, maybe we should have a look if we can document this in a blog
entry?

Title:
  s390x qemu vt220 terminal, tput cols and lines is wrong

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Won't Fix
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  s390x qemu vt220 terminal, tput cols and lines is reported as 80x24,
  whilst that's not true.

  The number of columns is semi-true, as the shell wraps them, however,
  one can print things beyond 80 cols.

  Ideally resizing qemu window, should manage to report the actual
  number of lines and columns to the underlying terminal.

  Similarly, one should be able to resize ASCII terminal window in HMC
  beyond 80x24.

  These days everyone has HD widescreen monitors, there is no reason to
  limit to 80x24.
