zVM

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I am now able to enter the CP commands.
After logging in as a VM user if I log off (LOGOFF command), I guess the
virtual machine / guest os is getting shutdown.
I guess the VM user and Virtual machine / guest os are one and the same.
I was also able to bring up the virtual machine / guest os using the IPL
commands. I did this because I knew the IPLSYS for the Virtual machine from
one of my earlier screenshot and was able to IPL with "IPL <some number> CLEAR"
command.
However I still need to find out details about the virtual machines that are
defined but not active. and IPL them.
Please suggest. Also find the attachment. In the mean while I am going
through the zVMBasics pdf.
Thanks & Regards,

To enter CP commands when Linux is active you have several choices
- hit the PA1 key, it will place you in CP READ and then you enter a CP command
- issue #CP xxxx
- when logged on to a Linux user (like root) you can try HCP xxxx or VMCP xxxx
- or use the SCIF, the Single Image Console Facility: from a VM user with
enough CP classes
-- SET SECUSER LINUXxyz *
-- SET SEND CP LINUXxyz xxxxx
The first command defines you as secondary user of LINUXxyz which means that
all console output of LINUXxyz will be routed to you if LINUXxyz is
disconnected, the SEND command sends a CP command to LINUXxyz
Note that the # character and PA1 can have been redefined with the CP TERMinal
command, issue Q TERM and look for LINEND and BREAKIN

Hi,
After logging through the 3270 terminal emulator, I am being asked to login to
the linux guest.
So there is no provison to enter CP commands.
Find the attached file for more details.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,

Another starting point, if the guests are connected via vSwitch, would be to
"query vswitch" to get the name of the virtual switch. This will also tell
you how many guests are attached to the virtual switch. Then "query vswitch
<switchname> active" to list the individual guests attached to the virtual
switch.
Older methods might be reflected in the TCPIP definitions, which should be
on TCPMAINT's minidisk 198.
