If you have installed DFSMS, you can enlarge a minidisk with extra
space added at the end of the minidisk:
- verify you have DFSMS COPY: look for DFSMS MODULE on DGTOWNER 195
(DFSMS is a free feature of z/VM, but it is not pre-installed)
- update the size of the minidisk in the CP directory
- run

When I need to XAUTOLOG an SVM (linux is just another SVM) and watch its
console, I use the AUTOSCIF exec from the SCIF package at the IBM DOWNLOA

website. This xautologs the svm and sets me as the SECUSER (secondary
console user) so that I can see the messages and enter commands if necess

Well - somewhere in /etc/rc3.d you could put a script that issues 'vmcp wng
operator I am up and running!' (or wng to whatever userid will be bringing
them up and watching)... hopefully, vmcp is loaded at that point..
Other than capturing console messages, there is no way to know that Linux is

I hope that would be 'vmcp msg operator I am up and running' and not a
warning message. Sending a warning requires CP class A, B, or C and I
hope nobody gives a Linux machine those privileges!

Yeah - you're right -- I interpreted 'login' to mean an ssh login... a

Ping doesn't prove that it's ready for multiple interactive logins. The
IP stack comes up before everything
is running.

If you are just a little bit brave and the user is logged on, you can
comment out the old 191 in the directory and create the new 191 at the same
time, then:
CP DEFINE 191 D191. /* make room for new 191 */
ACC D191 C /* access old data *
If your linux guests are enabled in /etc/inittab to shutdown in response to CP
SIGNAL SHUTDOWN USER guest
then
CP Q SIGNALS shows they're enabled and from that you might infer they're
running (but perhaps not yet at the LOGIN PROMPT like you wanted)

Or, also exploit the "deadman" diagnose feature that came with one of the
more recent z/VM releases. This diagnose tells CP that the virtual machine
must do something (maybe re-issue the diagnose, I just don't remember the
details) every so often, otherwise CP will execute the command you provide.
Thanks, I checked the HELP out for the EXEC but did not see that it
required '(' in front of the option. I must have missed it.

It's probably listed in one of Melinda's papers, or her fascinating "History of VM". The
way I recall it, at one SHARE (maybe in SF?) Sandra Hassenplug went shopping instead of to the
General session. She came across a roll of the now famous teddy bear stickers, buying several feet
of them.
