I've inherited a nice little problem.... a Red Hat RHEL 5.4 zLinux system fails on boot requiring me to run fsck manually , and it then prompts for the root password.
The problem? Nobody knows what the root password is. :-( I believe we have the system configured so if it comes up in single user mode, no password is required. (of course we already logged on to the vm 3270/3215 console with a password...) But... how do I get redhat zLinux to come up in single user mode? Is there a loadparm I can specify on the #CP IPL xxx command? I've also tried #CP VI VMSG 0 1 and get this response: 00: HCPPCX6531E The operating system will not accept commands from the service processor. Thank you --- Hey! Hey! You! You!
