You can use the OS Messages. SHARE requirement SSMVSE11007 is to "Allow z/OS to
use HMC integrated 3270 Console for NIP and MCS is status recognized."
From the ICKDSF Users Guide and Reference:
Prior to IPLing, specify the load parm to indicate the console you want ICKDSF
to use.
The required format for the load parm for Stand-Alone ICKDSF is 8 characters
specified as:
CNSLxxxx
Where
'CNSL' is required as the first 4 characters to ensure residual data in the
load parm field is not interpreted as the predefined console.
'xxxx' indicates the console you want to use and must be either:
'SCLP' to indicate that you want to use an SCLP (or HMC) console. For
example, the load parm would be specified as CNSLSCLP to indicate that ICKDSF
Stand-Alone should attempt to use the HMC console.
Or
'ccuu', where ccuu is the device address of a channel attached console.
For example, the load parm would be specified as CNSL0521 to indicate that
ICKDSF Stand-Alone should attempt to use the console at address 521.
The following rules apply for specifying a 'ccuu':
'ccuu' must be specified as 4 digits (a leading zero is required for a 3
digit device address).
The digits must be valid hex digits (0-9, A-F).
The device must be a valid supported console in the configuration and must
be operational. If the address consists of valid hex digits, ICKDSF will do the
console I/O to the device and has no way to check if the device exists, or if
it is working, or if in fact it is a console without doing I/O to it.
The console must be a 3270 type console (not a printer/keyboard type such
as 3215, etc.).
When a load parm is specified to indicate a console to be used, and an error
occurs attempting initial communication with that device, a disabled wait is
loaded to identify the type of problem. The user must correct the problem and
re-IPL the Stand-Alone to identify the console to be used.
