Dave,
a few questions:
1. Is your sysplex located fully on the box that was POR'd?
2. If yes, was the last system shut down also the first system that was IPL'd?
3. What are those pesky IEA196I messages (NIP) issued by console very early
(right before we have MCS consoles)?
What I am getting at is the question: Did you do a sysplex cold start (or not?)
Remember, information about consoles stays in the sysplex CDS even across a POR
(or a shutdown of *all* participating members in the sysplex), as long as the
last system down is the first to come up (I don't think this changed with
console restructure). In that case basically the information from the sysplex
CDS has priority over everything specified in a console member, and you get
messages stating for instance
IEE252I MEMBER CONSOL14 FOUND IN SYS1.xxxx.PARMLIB
IEA196I CONSOL14 MST14A: UNRECOGNIZED KEYWORD ALTGRP(MAS IGNORED.
IEA196I CONSOL14 INIT: RLIM VALUE IGNORED. REASON=4
IEA196I CONSOL14 DEFAULT: RMAX VALUE IGNORED. REASON=4
IEA196I CONSOL14 INIT: CNGRP VALUE IGNORED. REASON=6
IEA196I CONSOL14 M14400: DEL VALUE IGNORED. REASON=3
IEA630I OPERATOR HMC141 NOW ACTIVE, ...
IEA549I SYSTEM CONSOLE FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE 348
SYSTEM CONSOLE NAME ASSIGNED HMC141
IEA630I OPERATOR *SYSLG14 NOW ACTIVE, SYSTEM=xxxx , LU=*SYSLG14
IEA630I OPERATOR *DICNS14 NOW ACTIVE, SYSTEM=xxxx , LU=*DICNS14
IEA630I OPERATOR *ROUTE14 NOW ACTIVE, SYSTEM=xxxx , LU=ROUTEALL
If you look for the reason codes they basically tell you that a) you didn't do
cleanup of obsolete parms and b) the values in your consolxx contradict what
was last active in the plex and will thus be discarded. While a 'new' console
member with 'new' consoles will be read, consoles will only be added until the
limit is reached (99 up to 1.7, possibly 1.8).
Only in case of a cold start (either by formatting a fresh sysplex CDS or by
IPLing another system first) will console *re-initialize*. Which also means
that you may run into not having the consoles the next time you IPL a system.
Keep in mind that I have no clue about hardware and ICC and barely know that an
emulator session must be active. :-)
You mention v mstcons. You're not at 1.8 yet?
Regards, Barbara Nitz
