Re: updating IPLPARMS to new console address
It depends on how you start z/VM - With a SHUTDOWN REIPL or an IPL after a CP abend (does that still happen???), CP uses the IPLPARMS - If you use the HMC (or SE) to load z/VM into the LPAR, the start is the contents of the LOADPARM field of the HMC. If that contains. For example: - CONS, you explicitely ask to start CP with as console - you request that SAPL is started on - blank, SAPL does not display a panel, but loads CP with the defaults IPLPARMS set when SAPL was written. You can see these defaults by starting SAPL. For example (with a standard VM setup): - Logon to MAINT - DETACH 122-130 - LINK * 123 123 RR-- assure CP resident is R/O - Q V CONS -- get address of virt console (often 0009) - SYSTEM RESET -- kill CMS - TERM CONMODE 3270 - IPL 123 LOADPARM v (e.g. 0009) To change the SAPL default parameters, use SALIPL (or Mike Walter's MKSALIPL EXEC), SALIPL lives on MAINT 193. 2011/3/27 Phillip Gramly phil...@cdg.ws I have the address in the SYSTEM CONFIG in Operator_Consoles but it doesn’t use B00 which is the first address. somehow it is overridden.

updating IPLPARMS to new console address
I want to change the IPLPARMS to use an ICC console address instead of a real address on our old 3174.

Re: updating IPLPARMS to new console address
Does the load profile for the VM system contain a loadparm that would point to the console address that z/VM should use for startup messages?

Re: updating IPLPARMS to new console address
You can set the console addresses in SYSTEM CONFIG that z/VM should use... see the 'Operator_Consoles' variable. SET IPLPARMS is for a subsequent SHUTDOWN RESTART .. which it doesn't sound like you did from the way you worded it?
