I'm being asked one more time by TPTB to determine how the HMC System
Console is actually being used by z/OS customers:
1) How many of you have used to it in an emergency as the "console of last
resort"?
It happened in the past, but I strongly prefer to use "regular" console.
Regular = 2074, OSA-ICC or 3174 with coax-attached "hard" terminals.
HMC console lacks some funcionality.
2) How many of you have used it to recover OSA attached consoles?
Never, because I have redundant "regular" consoles.
3) How many of you have no locally-attached consoles and use the System
Console to IPL and get you through NIP before transitioning to SMCS consoles
(or some other console support requiring Comm Server to be up)?
I never used SMCS. For me it's completely useless feature, because it
depends on VTAM. If I have VTAM up & ready, then I possibly can have TSO
active => access to SDSF EMCS console.
