I have a couple more questions regarding setting up a VM console through OSA-ICC.
z/VM version 5.2 - IBM z9 2096 BC processor 1 LPAR VM running multiple VSE guests 1) is there any software restrictions as far as 3270 emulator software running on the PC for the VM console to work on it? We are currently trying it with QWS Plus Version 4.0 (JollyGiant Software)? Is anyone else using that software? Or what is working for you? 2) secondly, on the HMC screen for OSA Advanced Facilities, 'active sessions configuration', there is a field called 'MIFID'. In the IBM Redbook example, this field is set to a 'C' on a VM console definition. On our screen, our VM console session, it is set to a '1' (the default?)....what exactly does 'C' mean? On a trial IPL of VM this last weekend, we could not get the OSA-ICC PC to come up as the VM console...I am pretty sure the system configuration is correct...we can 'DISC' from the dummy tube and 'RECONNECT' on the PC. We just have not figured out the VM IPL- how to get it to come up on the OSA-ICC PC. Thanks again for all your help! Joan M. Gerads Systems & Programming SCICOM Data Services, Ltd. 10101 Bren Rd.

We 'disc' VM on the dummy terminal and reconnected the console on the PC. That part worked fine. We will not be IPL'ing VM until this weekend so my question is: What do we need to do to have the OSA console be recognized as the VM console during an IPL of VM? For the dummy terminal, we had the address hard assigned in the system configuration under Console Definitions: Operator_Consoles....How do you do that same thing with an OSA VM console? An example would be helpful. Thanks 2) We are planning on moving our VM packs from one set of 3390 Disk drives to another set of 3390 Disk drives. Any hints on the steps that should be followed to make this an easy transition? Thanks in advance Joan M. Gerads Systems & Programming SCICOM Data Services, Ltd. 10101 Bren Rd.
