Hi, my observations are that you absolutely need to disconnect from a running linux machine.
If you logoff, your machine is killed. If you close the TN3270 or it crashes, you have to reconnect quickly to your running session, then you can disconnect. You might need to enter "begin" when reconnecting to the session, but it depends of your profile. I don't know what is the length of the timer, but you need to reconnect quickly. As soon as you reconnect to the TN3270 session, your Linux guest will continue its operations. Regards. On 6/29/06, Jack Hoarau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Below is what I experienced considering that the described behavior can have harmful consequences: Let's figure a Linux server is running under z/VM to serve network connectivity (gateway firewalling, etc...) to a colony of Linux's. The system administrator log-on in the running server from the VM console, to do some administration tasks, completes the tasks but the VM console (pcom or x3270) drops unexpectedly (network connection lost, 3270 emulator closed) before he enters log-off or disconnect. From a VM point of view One would consider the Linux guest still up but just disconnected and walk away: Wrong ! in reality It is suspended...not running...not serving... frozen. After a while z/VM just force the guest definitively off breaking the linux network server. I suppose this is a normal behavior of z/VM to suspend dispatching the guest due to the console I/O error. Do you think this is compatible with running Linux under z/VM? Does anyone has this kind of concern when using the console with Linux under z/VM ? CP Q SET shows RUN set to ON but it seems this is not to sufficient, am I missing some other important function settings of the guest ?
