Re: z/vm dfdss standalone ipl console
I think David, with Mike's correction is correct. We've got 2nd level MVS machines that are used for our D/R tests. We always start the exercise by loading the D/R backup tapes from S/A DFDSS. The consoles on the 2nd level MVS id's are specified as being 3270 rather than 3215. Works just fine.

Re: z/vm dfdss standalone ipl console
While I hesitate to correct David, in this case a correction is warranted. The proper command is: CP TERMINAL CONMODE 3270 Perhaps David's suffering Monday Syndrome? More like what idiot decided that Solaris kernel configuration files should be in XML syndrome. Mike is (of course) correct. My head hurts today.
