Hi, Horst.
Yes, that's a good approach and it does work well. The main problem is that many sites
will not allow access to the HMC by mere mortal system programmers. :-)
I believe IBM is working on a piece of Linux software that will allow ASCII (SSH) logons
to z/VM Linux guests that do not have networking available, using the IUCV device driver.
to drive the Linux console interface from another Linux guest that does have networking
up. I haven't heard anything about when such a capability will be available, though.

Hello Tom, since I have z/VM 5.4.0 running on our z9 I prefer to use the
SYSASCII
console. SYSASCII is a JAVA emulation for a ASCII console. You can use VI
editor to
change files, YAST to customize your linux and Ctrl+C. I really like this
possibility.
I do 'attach sysa to lx100', then start the SYSASCII on the HMC, and press
enter. After
that I see the lx100 login screen. And this works without any active
networkadapter in
the linux.

the 3270
console interface
I know this topic has been discussed, but looking thru the archives, I keep
finding
similar topics, but not exactly the same....
Using the 3270 console interface...that is...
logon Linux68 when linux is finished coming up, if you hit enter, sometimes you
get:
login:
Now, you are a line mode device (3215?) being emulated on a 3270 session. What
is a
good line mode editor?
I thought VI or VIM would be, but you need an ESC key, plus when you vi a
member, it
streams the member out to the console. And, of course, the cursor commands H,
J, K and
L don't really work in this world.
I'm looking for options when I bring up the rescue system (sles 10.2).
Thanks
