Saurabh, This is a good forum for that question.
Before doing anything else, it might also be handy to display the PSW on the MVS virtual machine userid. There could be an important Wait State which could help with your diagnosis. Try entering from that MVS ID: CP Display PSWG Or if you cannot logon to that MVS ID, send the command from MAINT using command: CP SEND CP mvs_userid D PSWG Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

However, for your OPERATOR virtual machine which should have console spooling started and is a 3215 device type - you can either logon to OPERATOR and issue the command - 'SPOOL CONS CLOSE CL A TO <*|USERID>. Or if you are logged on to the MAINT virtual machine, issue this command - 'FOR OPERATOR CMD CP SPOOL CONS CLOSE CL A TO MAINT'. This will close the OPERATOR's console log and send it to MAINT's virtual reader where you can either RECEIVE it or just PEEK it. As to MVS, when you re-IPL the system, you should still have the SYSLOG file from the crash as either your current SYSLOG file or it's on the SPOOL volume where you can offload it to a disk data set.

Can anybody help me, how to see MVS colsole log and Operator log under zVM, so that I can check the reason for MVS crashes. Sorry, if I am posting this problem in the wrong forum. -- Thanks & Regards Saurabh Khandelwal -- Thanks & Regards Saurabh Khandelwal
