Dear all,
I face a problem using iucvconn accessing the console of another z/LINUX
guest.
I have upgraded to SLES 11 SP2:
Starting the iucvconn connection is working. After pressing Enter to get
the login prompt, the guest is prompting for the userid. When I press now
Enter, instead of prompting for the password, iucvconn disconnects from the
guest and I am again in the command line.
When I call iucvconn again, then there comes the message Login incorrect
and the guest is prompting for userid. In this case now, the password is
asked and the session works as designed.
So the problem is that the first login fails due to a disconnect of the
connection. It was working previous with SLES 11 SP1. So it seems that
either is iucvconn has a sort of bug or the associated driver.
Here is a sample hardcopy what is not working:
Starting at user admin1 and want to connect to tstsys1:
# iucvconn tstsys1 lnxhvc0 <--- pressing ENTER starts the connection,
<--- need to press ENTER
again to get the login prompt
Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 (s390x) - Kernel
3.0.58-0.6.6-default (hvc0).
tstsys1 login: root <--- Entering root and press ENTER
ybi@admin1 [~/perl] # <-- Instead of asking for the password the
connection is disconnected and I am again at the command prompt of admin1.
# iucvconn tstsys1 lnxhvc0 <--- Repeat the connection request and
pressing ENTER re-starts the connection,
<--- need to press ENTER
again to get the login prompt
Login incorrect
tstsys1 login: root <--- Entering root and press ENTER
Password: <-- Now prompted for the password
