Re: IOCP for MP2003-204

[Peter . Webb]

Hi Roland,   There are two places you must specify the console address. First off, you have to tell the hardware. That is what you are seeing on the Support Element console. For the IPL address, you use your dasd device address. For the Loadparm, just enter the device address of the terminal you want to use for the console. IPL the processor. SAPL should come up on the device you entered in the Loadparm field. At that point you can enter cons=xxxx to tell VM where to find the console, and continue with the VM IPL.   Peter   -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roland P.

Must be getting old....   The customer is still using VM/ESA 2.30... I don't know if the SAPL would take the LOADPARM. Anyway, the application runing on the MP2003-204 allows a place to put in a load address and a load parameter. However, it only allows 8 characters in this load parameter field, but NO special characters allows, like the = sign... RRRRRRRrrrrrr......   There are no "intergrated console support" in this beast either....   Do you have other suggestions?

I don't know which release, but it surely already work in z/VM 4.4 Here's a summary of what you now can do  - LOADPARM rdev   --> starts SAPL on "rdev", there you can enter CONS=rdev  to tell CP where to go    and load CP  - LOADPARM CONSrdev  -> SAPL directly loads CP and passes CONS=rdev As rdev one can also specify SYSG to indicate the "integrated 3270 CONSOLE", very easy but first you must drag a "3270 console" icon on the icon of the LPAR in which you want to load VM.   Both SAPLand CP support this console (z/OS does not), so the LOADPARM can be SYSG or CONSSYSG Similar, there is SYSC, the integrated linemode console, not supported by SAPL, so you can also enter LOADPARM CONSSYSC to directly load CP and instruct it to got to that linemode terminal.
