The facility within VM/ESA and z/VM for directing console traffic to an alternate user is called SCIF. This alternate user can be specified on the CONSOLE statement for the linux server virtual machines to be monitored. It can also be set dynamically via the CP SET SECUSER command. There are three programs that I have used to consolidate and monitor server consoles.
PROP - comes with VM/ESA & z/VM PIPESRV - from IBM VM Downloads website VM:Operator - currently available from CA They have different levels of functionality and complexity and the third costs money. /Thomas Kern /(301)903-2211 -----Original Message----- From: Purnomo Hadiprodjo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 15:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Monitoring console output messages from Linux virtual machines Hi all. We will soon have our first MP3000 installed in our office. Are there any VM tools that enable us to receive console output messages from multiple Linux virtual machines on the console of another virtual machine? I would like to have a single point of control for the consoles of several Linux virtual machines. Thanks in advance. Purnomo Tone Software Corporation 714-991-9460
