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..... Best regards, Pieter Harder [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel +31-73-6837133 / +31-6-47272537
>>> "Peter E. Abresch Jr. - at Pepco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/07/08 9:47 >>> 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.
