1. Is the virtual console address recognized by your z/OS guest as a console? 2. Is the virtual console defined as a 3270 instead of the usual 3215? I think MVS will fall back to the integrated console, so you can use #CP VINPUT VMSG to enter commands. In particular, use that to enter the VARY commando activate the console once you get the configuration straightened out.
