To make VM IPL to the SYSC (HMC/Support Element's Operating System
Messages window) by default:
Edit the MAINT CF1 file SYSTEM CONFIG and change the Operator_Consoles
statement to read-
Operator_Consoles SYSTEM_CONSOLE
"SYSTEM_CONSOLE" is reported by CP as terminal SYSC in the output from
commands like CP Q NAMES or CP Q USERS OPERATOR
In OPERATOR's PROFILE EXEC I code this test to check for and CP DISC if
OPERATOR is logged onto SYSC:
/* Disconnect if we're logged onto the hardware's System Console */
'PIPE CP QUERY USERS * | CONSOLE | SPECS W3 NEXT | VAR CONSTATUS'
if CONstatus = 'SYSC' then do
say Userid() 'is logged on' CONstatus ': Disconnecting now ...'
'CP DISCONNECT'
end

Subject: Re: z/VM IPL questions - Shutdown reipl
If it helps,
we have our VM systems configured to IPL to the SYSC console by default
(SYSC is the HMC/Support Element's Operating System Messages window and
is always available) and userid OPERATOR's PROFILE EXEC coded to do CP
DISC if it finds itself running on SYSC; PROFILE EXEC then initializes
VM:OPERATOR which drives 3270 console(s) that are CP ATTACH-ed to
OPERATOR. Works for SHUTDOWN REIPL too. We never experience "I can't
find a console" disabled wait state. Whenever we want to IPL to a 3270
console we IPL with a LOADPARM to display SAPL screen on a console and
fill-in a CONS=addr parameter to make VM IPL to that console addr.
Thanks John.
Exactly what I need here.
Could you please post the code or instructions for a z/VM newbie? Thanks

Ranga,

inactive after the shutdown.
I've seen this too and it is annoying.
Do you see a DISABLED WAIT error message in the Hardware Messages? If
you
drill down into the Details, do you see the last 4 digits of the PSW are
"1010"? This is the wait state for "I can't find a console". I may be
wrong on some of these assumptions but I believe the key is to leave the
Integrated 3270 console up on the HMC. Then z/VM will shutdown AND reipl
cleanly without intervention in about 2-3 minutes. It would be nice if
you
could "SHUTDOWN REIPL" VM without a console being necessary.
