I'd be surprised that CONSSYC would have been possible in VM/ESA 2.4.0. But, you can try it easily: - logon to a class G user - DETACH all its R/W disks - LINK MAINT 123 123 RR --> RR, Read/Only is very important - SET MACHINE ESA - IPL 123 LOADPARM CONSSYSC If it works, you'd see some VM IPL messages until VM dies as it cannot write to 123, or doesn't find some page/spool packs to page out things. But, I expect you will only see a "CP Entered: Disabled wait"
I always said: SYSC is only useful to IPL a VM system if you don't have to change something to its default setup. As soon as you want to select another nucleus/config file/.. you need the help of SAPL, and that means having a 3270 during IPL. A modern z/VM allows for more overrides than just CONSxxx via LOADPARM, but with 8 characters you don't have much space, if I remember LOADPARM FNxxxxxx is recognized too 2009/12/28 Billy R.
