Hi
In the interest of getting this back on track a bit I just wanted to let
you know that I was able to get a Second Level z/VM system up and
running with the ability to logon to another user on the second level
machine even with a personalized Logo for the second level machine ("The
Little Things in Life"). I also set up the BRKKEY key on the second
level to be different than the first level so that I can go back and
forth between the first and its' second level machines.
Thanks to all who responded with some good information. I think that I
have become half decent with z/VM and z/Linux over the last year and I
owe a lot of this to the good folks who take the time to answer
questions on this list. It has been very valuable to me by helping to
keep my first POC from Solaris to z/Linux on z on track.
Thank You,
Terry Martin

Not really, CP no longer supports a 3125 as console. Removed several
years ago.
What was seen was the first level VM that simulates the linemode
message interface of the HMC. The second level VM systems must have
had SYSTEM_CONSOLE in its console list to make this work (OK in the
sample SYSTEM CONFIG file).
One can respond to the second level VM system questions by using
#CP VINPUT VMSG xxxxx
