Re: Sixpack 1.2: how to log in two users?

Mike,

Well, you have just exposed me as a noob regarding DMKRIO, which is the file that defines CP's I/O configuration.  The VM Sixpack DMKRIO ASSEMBLE is on MAINT 94, and has the following lines for terminals and their controllers:

RCTLUNIT ADDRESS=018,CUTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=004,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=005,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=006,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=007,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=008,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=009,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=00A,DEVTYPE=3215
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(01F),DEVTYPE=3215

RDEVICE ADDRESS=(010,7),DEVTYPE=3277

RCTLUNIT ADDRESS=0C0,CUTYPE=3272,FEATURE=32-DEVICE
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(0C0,32),DEVTYPE=3277

RCTLUNIT ADDRESS=1C0,CUTYPE=3272,FEATURE=16-DEVICE
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(1C0,7),DEVTYPE=3277
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(1C7),DEVTYPE=3284
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(1C8,7),DEVTYPE=3277
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(1CF),DEVTYPE=3284

RCTLUNIT ADDRESS=2C0,CUTYPE=3272,FEATURE=16-DEVICE
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(2C0,7),DEVTYPE=3278,MODEL=4
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(2C7),DEVTYPE=3284
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(2C8,7),DEVTYPE=3277
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(2CF),DEVTYPE=3284

RCTLUNIT ADDRESS=3C0,CUTYPE=3272,FEATURE=16-DEVICE
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(3C0,7),DEVTYPE=3277
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(3C7),DEVTYPE=3284
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(3C8,7),DEVTYPE=3277
 RDEVICE ADDRESS=(3CF),DEVTYPE=3284

The configuration file as currently shipped with the SixPack does not define this many terminals.  If I expand it to match the above, it looks like this:

0009    3215-C  NOPROMPT
000A    1052    NOPROMPT   

00C0.32 3270
01C0.7  3270
01C8.7  3270
02C0.7  3270
02C8.7  3270
03C0.7  3270
03C8.7  3270

With the above configuration, I can connect many 3278-2 (24 line) terminals.  They come in at 0C0 and go up from there.

Also, I can connect a 3278-4 (40 line) terminal at 2C0.  But I cannot connect a second 3278-4.

Does anyone know what is amiss here?

Thanks, Bob

At my very first shop we were bringing the systems in-house from a service bureau, and all the VM manuals had arrived, and I was burning through those when they changed their minds and I had to learn instead to support MVS/SP. Can't complain, it just would have been fun... -and retrospectively, the right call for a company of that size. IBM sales was just too darn good.
