Very basic and I know the answer, but I'll ask the question anyway. On the HMC of my z890, there is an ICON for the "integrated ASCII console". I know that this exists only for z/Linux systems running "native" in an LPAR (not under z/VM). Does anybody know how this works? I.e. how does it communicate with the z/Linux software? I would guess that output from z/Linux would be directed to it via a DIAGNOSE code of some sort. And input via an external interrupt, followed by a DIAGNODE code to "read" the data? Or does it use the SIGA interface, like an OSA?
Just curiousity on my part due to some discussions on the z/Linux forum. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
