Steps for setting addresses for consoles

During the first IPL of your z/VM system, you needed to specify a load parameter
so you could communicate with the Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL). The
reason is the new z/VM system did not know which device address to use to
display messages and prompts. The installation system includes default device
addresses for use as the system operator console and emergency messages console,
but these addresses rarely correspond to your production hardware configuration.
So you will not need to use the SAPL each time you IPL z/VM, you need to
supply the address of your IPL console and your emergency messages console on
the Operator_Consoles statement.
During IPL, CP tries each device on the Operator_Consoles statement (from left to
right) until it finds an active device. If no devices on the list are active, CP loads a
disabled wait state and terminates.
The emergency message console is used as an additional console during failures.
Define the emergency console with the Emergency_Message_Console statement.
Before you begin: You need to end CP's access to the primary parm disk. See
"Steps for releasing the primary parm disk" on page 37. You need to know the real
device addresses for the operator console and the emergency message console.
Perform these steps to set up addresses for consoles:
