Peter, If you logon to the Linux guest via a 3270 display, you'll likely see a blank screen after logon (and password). Press Enter and you'll see VM READ in the lower right corner of the display. Press Enter again and you should see "Enter password" and RUNNING in the lower right corner of the screen. Give it some time until it tires of waiting for a password and asks for a userid. Enter a userid with sudo authority, or "root"; enter the password when prompted. Once you're logged in, you should be able to issue an "ip" command (or an "ifconfig" or whatever command works for you to dynamically enter a new IP address. Remember to update your default gateway with a "route add" command. You should then be able to ssh to the Linux guest.
When you are done with the console interface, be sure the lower right corner of the display does NOT display CP READ, then enter the command "logout". Once you are prompted for a userid, enter the CP Break Key (key PA1 is the default), watch for CP READ in the lower right corner, then type "DISCONNECT" and press Enter. Your physical console (the 3270 terminal) will then be disconnected from the virtual console, and you can go about your business.

What are files that I need to change to reflect with new IP address? For an existing Linux, how do I view it's console from a 3270 emulator ? Cause as of due to the IP change the Linux guest is not connectable via SSH. Could someone please guide me ?
