Hi Peter,
Some time last year, the HMC LIC was upgraded. Two new integrated console
were then added, one is for the traditional 3174 Local non-SNA and one is
for an ASCII Terminal which Linux may use. If your HMC is at the proper
microcode level you should find this icon by following the instructions
you mention below. Notice that you have one and only one such emulated
3174 console per LPAR. I have used it myself while installing z/VM V4R4 in
September 2003 on an z800. Also notice that a 3174 console is not needed
very long with z/VM as oppose to z/OS.
Actually you could use the "Software Messages" icon for this partition as
well.
Best regards.

z/VM V5.1 Installation Question
I am reviewing z/VM Version 5.1 âGuide for Automated Installation and
Serviceâ installation instructions in preparation of our VM server for
Linux. We requested z/VM on a DVD. We are currently running an IBM
2066-002
and this is our first exposure to VM, being z/OS gurus, and Linux newbies.
On page 70 of the manual, under heading STEP 1. Load the RAMDISK from the
Processor HMC, step 2, it talks about the Integrated 3270 Console. We do
not have this option. Why? How do we get it? An excerpt follows:
On the Hardware Management Console, bring up an Integrated 3270 Console
for
the LPAR you are using to install.
a. From the Hardware Management Console Workplace window, double
click on Groups.
b. From the GROUPS WORK AREA window, double click on CPC IMAGES.
c. From the CPC IMAGES WORK AREA window, highlight the LPAR on which
you are going to install.
d. From the CPC RECOVERY window, double click on Integrated 3270
console. The Integrated 3270 console window is displayed, which is
where the messages are displayed when the system IPLs.
We do not have any 3174 controllers for our z/VM LPAR. Will we require
any?
Once we find this Integrated 3270 Console, can we use that?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
