Re: Question about linux shutdown on Z/VM

[Jim Bohnsack]

Larry--My "guess" is that your linux guests do not have RUN set ON.  You could verify that by entering #CP Q SET from a linux guest to which you are connected at a VM console (not putty).  You should be able to see, RUN ON in response to the query.

 q set                                           
MSG ON  , WNG ON  , EMSG TEXT, ACNT OFF, RUN ON

We have been having a problem with our linux guests on VM. We lose
connectivity through putty and have to shutdown using the signal shutdown
command to the linux guest. IBM has found the problem and we need to
upgrade the kernel..I guess to a general...I know don't quit my day job.
Anyway what I and others have noticed is that the guest doesn't reboot(ipl)
until I logon to it through VM. The reason I say this is because the guest
remains hung(through putty) but the minute I logon to it through VM and the
messages begin to roll through we are then able to log into it through
putty .  Any thoughts??
