Hello, Just installed Red Hat 7.2, running as a zVM 6.3 guest. Followed Red Hat instructions to autolog Root on Console(ttyS0) initially works.
Our CA Operator is used for automation which sets Observer and SECUSER to issue commands. Seems to perform those functions too quickly resulting in Console service to fail. Messages from /var/log/messages fllow: systemd: getty@ttyS0.service has no holdoff time, scheduling restart. systemd: start request repeated too quickly for getty@ttyS0.service systemd: Failed to start Getty on ttyS0. systemd: Unit getty@ttyS0.service entered failed state. systemd: getty@ttyS0.service failed. Console snippet which repeats: Ýroot@r028n0z ~¨# HCPCFX6769I Your observation terminated by OPERATOR HCPCFX6768I Your SECUSER set to OPERATOR by OPERATOR. wapPassword: HCPCFX6769I Your SECUSER terminated by OPERATOR.
