Re: IEARELCN for orphaned console definitions

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

As of z/OS 2.1, you can remove a phantom console by MVS command. IEAEWLCN still 
works--as well as IEARELEC for EMCS consoles--but the command route is cleaner. 

  SETCON DELETE,CN=SMCSSY1

The command, however, requires distributed mode.

Bob,
  You can run IEARELCN on any system in the sysplex.  The service essentially 
allows the Consoles component to forget that there ever was a console with that 
name.  There is no longer any association between that console name and any 
device on any of your systems (as indicated by the D C response).

  I would recommend moving to distributed mode at your earliest convenience.

Thank you Peter for the clarification . We will be moving to distributed mode 
hopefully by end of this month .

Re: IEARELCN for orphaned console definitions

Yes . But i was wondering if there is any restriction that IEARELCN needs to 
run on the same LPAR where the console is originally defined . 

In other words , how to remove a console definition that shows in the D C,N 
output as *NONE ?

[linda golding]

You are on right track  IEARELCN can delete the console definition from
a sysplex as well as a single system .

IEARELCN for orphaned console definitions

[Robert Hahne]

Greetings ,

We were supposed to remove a few inactive MCS definitions from our sysplex . 
The LPAR where it originally had its definition is IPL'ed after removing the 
entries from CONSOLxx . But forgot to run IEARELCN to remove it from the plex . 
 Now when i do a display D C,N on all LPARS, it still shows the same console 
device in the output where CNZ4100I   msg has DEFINED and MATCHED entries 
displayed as *NONE . I would like to get rid of this definition from other 
systems in the plex . Here is what i intend to do 

a) Run a IEARELCN against the console name which has already been removed from 
the original system that is IPL'ed 

I understand that a sysplex wide IPL is needed to remove the console definition 
in shared mode unless IEARELCN is used  

My question is : Can i run IEARELCN on any of the LPARS in the same sysplex in 
this situation to get rid of the orphaned entry so that it gets unpinned ?

BTW , we are using console in shared mode and hence SETCON DELETE will not work
