After you made the change in CONSOLxx to LOGON(AUTO) was there a plex wide IPL?
IIRC CONSOLxx definitions are plex wide so a member entering the plex will use a 'cached' version which may be different than you expect. You should be able to dynamically alter to LOGON(AUTO) then as long as CONSOLxx matches the next IPL should be OK. -----Original Message----- Allan Boyles Well, this does not seem to be the explaination to our situation. - none of the systems in the sysplex are running 1.10 yet. - LOGON(AUTO) is explicitly set for all MSCs in all the console members - the D C command shows different results regarding LOGON= when issued from different Lpars. For some consoles LOGON=OPTIONAL shows up. Regards, Allan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- David Waldman ERROR DESCRIPTION: When no specific LOGON attribute has been specified on the CONSOLE statement for a console, LOGON=OPTIONAL may appear in message CNZ4100I in response to a DISPLAY CONSOLES command regardless of the LOGON attribute specified for the DEFAULT statement in CONSOLXX. This problem occurs in shared mode for consoles active on systems running z/OS R10. If the R10 system where the consoles are active is not running in a sysplex, LOGON=OPTIONAL is always displayed for the active consoles. If the R10 system where the consoles are active is running in a sysplex and an APPLID is not specified on the INIT statement in CONSOLxx, LOGON=OPTIONAL is displayed for the active consoles from the time the system is IPL'd up until when the next system is IPL'd into the plex. LOCAL FIX: Define LOGON attribute for individual consoles. hth, Dave > >For all the MCS consoles in a Sysplex we have the LOGON(AUTO) parameter set on all Lpars. When issuing the D C command on various Lpars the display shows "LOGON=OPTIONAL" for some systems. The display is reflected correctly for the Lpars own consoles, ie. the consoles defined on the system where the command is issued. >Can anyone explain this? >Kind regards, > >Allan Boyles > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
