I have the master console up on the Linux box that is running our zDT.  Normally I just VNC to that box to interface with the console.

In the device config, address 0700 is the master console, 0701...0704 are the tso devices.

Can more console devices be setup to interface with zDT?  For example can I setup device address 0701 as a mstcon LU and use that as a 2nd console.  Would have to change the CONSOLEXX member to include that address, but will that work?  I'd like to be able to use my PCOMM, telnet to the Linux host on port 3270 and LU mstcon to be able to interface as a console with zDT.  Not always convenient to VNC to the Linux host to get to the console.

Any info appreciated.

Thanks.

There are a number of options you can use here:

- remember that you can use SDSF to interact with the system via LOG and OPERLOG

- you can define your TSO user to have RACF authority to use the TSO CONSOLE command

- as you stated you can define more addresses in your CONSOLnn member to be consoles. In fact the ADCD already has 908 defined as a console so this would need to be configured in your DEVMAP

- You can just open a remote SSH session to your server and use oprmsg from there (you can in fact make this a console too). I'm not too sure if this is yet in ZD&T but the latest version of zPDT has the oprmsg_file option which will write all messages to a designated file. this can help with Linux automation of a z/OS system
