Did you think of enabling the ascii console in the guest? If they let you touch 
the HMC you might get through that way. Assuming you didn't disable all 
non-network logins.....

We are at Sungard performing our yearly contingency test. Normally we 
restore our Linux DASD and IPL our Linux guest as a guest from Sungard?s 
z/VM system. We then logon to our Linux guest from z/VM, change the 
network configuration, reboot, and we are good to go. Usually we have to 
wait 10 minutes for NFS to timeout before receiving the Linux LOGON prompt 
on the VM console. This has worked for us many times.

However, this year, we never receive the LINUX logon prompt. Linux IPLs 
fine, everything seems ok, however, we do not receive the Linux logon 
prompt. We wait as long as 45 minutes but never see the prompt. Without 
the prompt, we cannot logon and make any changes at all?

The z/VM directory used at Sungard is the same that we have used in 
previous tests. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions.

Peter
