Are you talking about a 9672 which is at least 2 if not at least 3 generations old? What would be the most current version of VM that box could run?

If not, it is possible that the Integrated 3270 console doesn't work, it'll remain black. And, to complement Alan: you enter SYSG in the loadparm field to get the SAPL screen. Then in the overrides, you can enter CONS=SYSG to get CP there too. 2011/4/7 Alan Altmark <alan_altm...@us.ibm.com> On Thursday, 04/07/2011 at 12:10 EDT, Ray Padre <ray.pa...@metcash.com> wrote: > Thanks Alan. I've been googling but finding no useful information on > the topic. Can you suggest a good reference on the subject? Once you've selected an LPAR on the HMC, one of the Recovery actions will be "Integrated 3270 Console". Open it up and you'll get a CP logo. If you want it to be the operator's console at IPL, then you need to have the window open BEFORE you IPL. If you don't have SYSTEM_3270 in your OPERATOR_CONSOLES statement in SYSTEM CONFIG, then you'll need to specify a console of CONSSYSG in the loadparm. Don't use the "Configure 3270 Sessions" app. That's for creating telnet sessions.
