Hi Listers. we are running SLES9 SP3 guests on z/VM 5.3 on a z9. We are trying to set up Linux to use the HMC ASCII terminal interface through z/VM sysascii.
The first step is to configure the Linux guest to use the ASCII console... we found the following and need some guidance. The " SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Architecture-Specific Information" To activate vt220 support on your machine, edit /etc/inittab as user root. Look for the following line and delete the leading # sign: # 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS1 linux In the Linux Kernel 2.6- April 2004 Stream Device Drivers To set TERM=linux at startup add a line of this form to the /etc/inittab file: <id>:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS1 linux However, in the /etc/inittab itself # Default HMC/3215/3270 console: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS0 dumb # # z900 LPAR SE/HMC VT220/Linux console - uncomment to enable getty on it: # # 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS1 xterm Does it matter which is coded... agetty vs mingetty ; linux vs xterm? TIA...
