Have you considered using the IBM Terminal Server for zLinux? The Terminal Server is part of the s390-tools package and permits normal access to other zLinux guests running on the same z/VM system, even if they are not connected to a working TCP/IP network. This permits the use of common Linux tools like vi, Emacs, and nano, to be used even in the event of a network failure.

What are people doing when the local Linux people are wanting ASCII Consoles available for performing reboots or problem resolution I know I can attach the SYSASCII (HMC ASCII vt220 console) to a Linux image Does the Linux image need to include "ttys1" in the /etc/zipl.conf file for RHEL 7.5 and above? console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 We tested attaching it to a Running Linux but the device never really worked when attached, we probably missed something Any Suggestions on using this properly?
