We are an MVS shop setting up a Linux under VM pilot and need to have some procedures in place for operations. We are trying to figure out how/where we want the operators to have console access. Right now only the sys. progs. have any access to VM and we use a telnet session from our desks to a VM user id or use the HMC. Is there a master console we can setup for operations like MVS? Should we setup a userid for the operators? Make them use the HMC? Is there another alternative I've not mentioned and don't know about?
