What is the best way to view the OPERATOR console without being logged on
to OPERATOR.
My z/VM is IPLed 1000 miles away and it would be helpful to see what is
coming out on the OPERATOR console with spooling it closed.
z/OS SDSF has a nice LOG facility.
Is there anything comparable in z/VM?

A number of options.
CA VM:Operator is the best option
SET OBSERVER can help.
If OPERATOR is disconnected then SET SECUSER allows commands in and to see
the output - but it does alter the way that some things work.
CA VM:Spool will allow you to look at the spooled console without closing
it
Other alternatives...

If you have a single engine, I wonder if you are hitting the same class of
problem that Websphere has on a single engine?
That is, you have two active tasks in competition for CPU time.
i.e. two stacks, one engine.
stack A sends a packet
The cpu is taken from Stack A to service Stack B.
Stack B
Perfkit also works pretty well for that. Run PERFKIT in the OPERATOR id with no
data collection, and then use the APPC interface (or the WWW client if you
want).
As Peter said, if you can afford VM:Operator it’s also wonderful for this.
