Given the restrictions of the SAF z/VM environment the only way that I've found (thanks to suggestions from IBM z/VM CMS Level 2) to automate the start up of the Linux images under z/VM is to update the PROFILE EXEC of the VMADMIN server.
Here is a copy of what I did: First issue: vmlink vmadmin 191 (write Read the message: DMSVML2060I VMADMIN 191 linked M as 0120 file mode Z Next XEDIT PROFILE EXEC Z (where Z is the file mode from the message) Then insert the XAUTOLOG statements thus: ... snip "CP SPOOL CONSOLE START TO MAINT" "ACCESS 592 N" "Xautolog mlnxd001 synch" <=== inserted "Xautolog mlnxd002 synch" <=== inserted "Xautolog mlnxd005 synch" <=== inserted "EXEC LINUXSRV" Exit ... snip Hope this helps other SAF users. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
