There are two parts of the "configuration": the IOCP and the ICC
configuration itself, and they have to match.
Most people are somewhat familiar with the IOCP part, but here is one
example:
* Primary ICC port
CHPID PATH=(00), *
PARTITION=(ZVM,TEST), *
TYPE=OSC,PCHID=180
CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=0180,PATH=(00),UNIT=OSC
IODEVICE ADDRESS=(020,64),MODEL=X,CUNUMBR=(0180),UNIT=3270
*
For the ICC itself, there is a panel driven configuration function in the
HMC. For one or two displays/units, this is probably OK, but very tedious
for very many displays. The other option is to create/edit a configuration
file that is then imported into the HMC and activated as the config. I
won't include the entire config file, but here is the beginning and first 3
displays to give you an idea. Although a bit tedious, I think it's a lot
faster to edit this file than to use the GUI panels in the HMC.
<OSC_SERVER>
HOST_IP= 192.168.1.186
DEFAULT_GATEWAY= 192.168.1.1
SUBNET_MASK= 255.255.255.0
PORT= 3270
ETHERNET_FRAME= DIX
MTU= 1492
NAME= SOMENAME
</OSC_SERVER>
<CONFIG_SESSION>
<SESSION1>
CSS= 00 IID= 01 DEVICE= 0020
GROUP= "ZVMOPER"
CONSOLE_TYPE= 1 RESPONSE= ON READ_TIMEOUT= 60
</SESSION1>
<SESSION2>
CSS= 00 IID= 01 DEVICE= 0021
GROUP= "ZVM"
CONSOLE_TYPE= 1 RESPONSE= ON READ_TIMEOUT= 60
</SESSION2>
<SESSION3>
CSS= 00 IID= 01 DEVICE= 0022
GROUP= "ZVM"
CONSOLE_TYPE= 1 RESPONSE= ON READ_TIMEOUT= 60
</SESSION3>

Hi
I am just curious about the steps to configure the ICC console
particular in the area of the GEN. I happen to be looking at setting up
the ICC now so some help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

Your presumed answer is exactly right... nothing special is required
in
zVM. I've installed a number of systems (z9 and z10 using zVM 5.2,
5.3,
and 5.4) and generally use an ICC connected terminal as the OPERATOR
console and it comes up perfectly from the first (normal) IPL. It's
just
another 3270.
The biggest 'problem' is configuring the ICC (in both the ICC and the
IOCP), and that is not much of a problem at all.

I have just been asked to verify that z/VM 5.3 has no requirements in
order
to support ICC. I presume that means no configuration definitions,
software
to install, virtual machines to define. There are so many references to
ICC
in a search of the 5.3 library, that it will take a lot of looking, a
lot
of time (which I do not have unless I take it home at night) to come to
a
definitive conclusion. The answer appears to be that if it is defined in
the IOCDS, VM will be happy to use it. Can someone either confirm or
disabuse me of this notion?

Richard Schuh
