Phillip, Take a look at the directory entry for the virtual machine that is not getting its console traffic sent to OPERATOR, and compare it to the directory entries of one or more of those that work as desired.
On particular, look at the CONSOLE statement in the directory entry. The ones that are working probably look something like: CONSOLE 009 3215 C OPERATOR whereas the failing one probably looks something like: CONSOLE 009 3215 C Note the missing "OPERATOR". That positional keyword is the name of the Secondary Console Image Facility (may have the acronym wrong) userid to whom all line-mode console traffic is to be routed if the userid itself is logged on "disconnected". CP commands "SET SECUSER" and "SET OBSERVER" can also be used dynamically to change or just observe line-mode console traffic on one disconnected virtual machine from another authorized machine. But I'm betting that your case is the directory entry situation. You can add "OPERATOR" to the directory entry of the missing svm, and the next time it is logged on, OPERATOR will see the line-mode console traffic. The SPOOLed console traffic will remain unchanged and go wherever the console is SPOOLed when it is closed.
