It depends on how you start z/VM - With a SHUTDOWN REIPL or an IPL after a CP abend (does that still happen???), CP uses the IPLPARMS - If you use the HMC (or SE) to "load" z/VM into the LPAR, the start is the contents of the LOADPARM field of the HMC. If that contains. For example: - "CONSxxxx", you explicitely ask to start CP with xxxx as console - "xxxx" you request that SAPL is started on xxxx - "blank", SAPL does not display a panel, but loads CP with the defaults IPLPARMS set when SAPL was written. You can see these defaults by starting SAPL. For example (with a "standard" VM setup): - Logon to MAINT - DETACH 122-130 - LINK * 123 123 RR <-- assure CP resident is R/O - Q V CONS <-- get address of virt console (often 0009) - SYSTEM RESET <-- kill CMS - TERM CONMODE 3270 - IPL 123 LOADPARM vvvvv (e.g. 0009) To change the SAPL default parameters, use SALIPL (or Mike Walter's MKSALIPL EXEC), SALIPL lives on MAINT 193.
