Hi all...
Don't ask why, it's a loonng story... But I have to build a system
under VM that will end up running stand-alone in an LPAR.
Making the DASD and OSA addresses is easy, and I cobbled together a
guest LAN and routing to make the network look like it will in the LPAR.
But what about the console? We want it to use the Operating System
Messages window on the HMC. But if I build it under VM I need (have to
have) a virtual console (usually 009). Will a Linux image built using a
VM console on 009 (or any other address) talk to the HMC window if there
is no real 009? (Linux built with a console won't IPL under VM without
a virtual console.)
Look at chapter 19 of the Linux device driver (DD) book. There you will
find information on how to get Linux to use either the integrated VT220 or
linemode console on the HMC. You cannot use the VT220 when running in a
virtual machine. Those consoles are addressed using SCLP (see the DD
book), not via a device like 009. Device 009 come into play only when
using a 3215 or 3270 Linux console.
