Title: Message

still pretty sweet that after all these years (decades!) CP will still initialize to a 3215! Albeit a virtual one.

Yup, that's definitely it.  Do:

 

CP TERM CONMODE 3270

IPL 1000 CLEAR LOADPARM 009

 

that will  bring up the standalone loader using the virtual machine's console at 009, in 3270 mode.

 

On the standalone loader type:

cons=009

 

in the parms section BEFORE pressing PF10.

Remember to do TERM CONMODE 3270 before the IPL?

 

Also, you may need to put the cons=0009 on the load screen (assuming the address of your console is 0009)

Hi

 

I am taking my first crack at building a 2^nd level z/VM under my 1^st level z/VM. I tried IPLing the 2^nd level and I am receiving the following:

 

 

13:20:27 Start ((Warm|Force|COLD|CLEAN) (DRain) (DIsable)  (NODIRect)

13:20:27       (NOAUTOlog)) or (SHUTDOWN)                            

H HCPSED6013A A CP read is pending.             

 

At this point I cannot enter anything in the console.        

 

A little background on how I built this. The 2^nd level is a copy of my 1^st level with any needed changes to the SYSTEM CONFIG and Directory files. The RES and Spool are copies from my first level.  Below is a copy of my SECLVL user directory entry:

 

USER SECLVL SECLVL 500M 500M BCDEFG

MACHINE ESA 2                     

OPTION TODENABLE                  

IPL CMS                           

CONSOLE 0009 3215 T OPERATOR      

SPOOL 000C READER A               

SPOOL 000D PUNCH A                

SPOOL 000E PRINTER A              

LINK MAINT 0190 0190 RR           

LINK MAINT 019D 019D RR           

LINK MAINT 019E 019E RR           

MDISK 191  3390 1 200 53DW01 MR   

MDISK 1000 3390 0 END 53DRES MR   

MDISK 12F1 3390 0 END 53DPAG MR   

MDISK 12F2 3390 0 END 53DSPL MR   

 

Now the examples in the book ’z/VM Running Guest Operating Systems’  are using one disk broken down into multiple mdisks for RES, PAGE, and SPOOL. I just decided to use my copy of the first level and make these full pack mdisks as you see in the user directory. Will this approach work? Or am I missing something.              

 

Thank You,
