Hello Andy,
I also use only the HMC for SAD support....
our basic operator instructions:
1. logon to HMC as OPERATOR
2. logon to MVS Console on SYSPLEX partner system
3. Select SAD_sysname HMC Icon.
4. Perform RESET-NORMAL, Answer YES and OK.
5. On MVS Console, reply to IXC402D or IXC102A messages, or issue V
XCF,sysname,OFFLINE (reply is SYSNAME=sysname)
Actions 3-5 expedite sysplex system recovery actions.
6. Perform ACTIVATE SAD_sysname HMC ICON, Answer Yes and OK.
7. Start Operating System Messages (double-click with SAD_sysname Icon
highlighted)
8. Enter a NULL command, by clicking on SEND COMMAND and then clicking on
SEND button.
9+++ now answer SAD prompts as required.
Regards
Bruce Hewson
