Hi, my observations are that you absolutely need to disconnect from a running linux machine. If you logoff, your machine is killed. If you close the TN3270 or it crashes, you have to reconnect quickly to your running session, then you can disconnect. You might need to enter begin when

We ran into that here. SET RUN ON is specified in the profile exec for all of the Linux guests, but if the 3270 session for that guest (we would use 3270 to manually IPL - otherwise xautolog is the choice) is terminated (computer crashes, or someone closes the 3270 program) without a #CP DISC

I wonder what we're doing differently. I just tried this with my test server several times, and it disconnected properly each time, leaving the guest running. When I logged back ON though, the session went to CP READ and the server was partly locked up until I satisfied the read.

If the guest entered CP READ when you reconnected, you are _not_ setting RUN ON as you should. If for any reason your guest gets put into CP READ, after (the default) 15 minutes, CP will force it off. Try killing your 3270 emulator after reconnecting, seeing CP READ, and waiting 15 minutes. I

I went back and rechecked, and while the console showed CP read, the guest actually did continue to run. I made a minor, but stupid, mistake when I first tested it. CP SET RUN ON seems to be behaving exactly as the manual says it should. Still doesn't explain why the other guy is having

I suppose this is a normal behavior of z/VM to suspend dispatching the guest due to the console I/O error. Do you think this is compatible with running Linux under z/VM? Does anyone has this kind of concern when using the console with Linux under z/VM ? CP Q SET shows RUN set to ON but it
