Re: How do I tell that I am working with a MC3277 or TN3270? How do I install TSO?

Hello au1john,

Thanks for your post in response to my request for MVS installation assistance. Yes, I did leave a blank line after "My biggest..."/ My trend of thought at the time was to say that because of the issues that I am having that I was not sure that Iactually installed the turn-key MVS3.8j system correctly. By that I mean I could indeed have missed some steps during installation or start-up procedure. And I am still not sure of it. 

So, it there a sure way to determine if MVS 3.8J Tur(n)key System was completely installed - no missing required install component and such.

Also, I was not aware that one need to IPL MVS 3.8J Tur(n)key System after installation. I thought all I need to do is install and fire up this baby and I am ready to do some customization and startup the MVS system. 

Ok, now that I know I'll go back and see if I can fix what my problem is.

But three question though...How do I start "the necessary TN3270 sessions; one for the MVS console and at least another for the user logon to TSO." Also, How do I do an IPL? I believe I saw where Volker Bandke or Jay Moseley(Manual build of the system?) said something about that but I can't seem to locate it now...do you know?
