Your presumed answer is exactly right... nothing special is required in zVM. I've installed a number of systems (z9 and z10 using zVM 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4) and generally use an ICC connected terminal as the OPERATOR console and it comes up perfectly from the first (normal) IPL. It's just another 3270.
The biggest 'problem' is configuring the ICC (in both the ICC and the IOCP), and that is not much of a problem at all. Mike C. M.

I presume that means no configuration definitions, software to install, virtual machines to define. There are so many references to ICC in a search of the 5.3 library, that it will take a lot of looking, a lot of time (which I do not have unless I take it home at night) to come to a definitive conclusion. The answer appears to be that if it is defined in the IOCDS, VM will be happy to use it. Can someone either confirm or disabuse me of this notion?
