Thanks Michael, I had not tried a signal shutdown from the console yet, so I did and it worked fine. At least I know that RedHat seems to be set up correctly.
However, if I send a signal from Maint or Operator via 'signal shutdown mfsl8009' linux does not seem to receive the signal. This makes me think something on the z/VM side is not set up correctly. The guest is setup just like the 5.6 guests, same class, signal enabled, but the signal doesn't register.

Hello Jim, The setting of the shutdown actions should have no effect for signal shutdown. I tried "signal shutdown" on my development RHEL6.4 system and it worked for me: $ cat /etc/issue Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago) $ cat /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf # control-alt-delete - emergency keypress handling # # This task is run whenever the Control-Alt-Delete key combination is # pressed. Usually used to shut down the machine. start on control-alt-delete exec /sbin/shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed" $ lsshut Trigger Action ======================== Halt vmcmd ("logoff") Power off vmcmd ("logoff") Reboot reipl Restart stop Panic stop #cp signal shutdown within 1 Broadcast message from ... (unknown) at 11:08 ... The system is going down for reboot NOW! Control-Alt-Delete pressed ..... Unmounting file systems: " OK ยจ init: Re-executing /sbin/init... Please stand by while rebooting the system..... 01: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop from CPU 00. 02: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop from CPU 00. 00: HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 00020001 80000000 00000000 00000FFF At the end the magic PSW with address 0xfff is loaded that should signal to z/VM that the guest system has stopped.
