Enabling user logins for 3270 terminals

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 z/VM guest

Instantiate getty services for terminals to enable users access.

Procedure

Perform these steps to use a getty service for enabling user logins on any dynamically added real or virtual 3270 terminals.

  1. Enable the new getty service by issuing a command of this form:
    # systemctl enable serial-getty@<terminal>.service
    where <terminal> specifies one of the terminals 3270-tty<N> and <N> is an integer greater than 1.
    Note: You specify terminal 3270/tty<N> as 3270-tty<N>.
  2. Optional: Start the new getty service by issuing a command of this form:
    # systemctl start serial-getty@<terminal>.service

Results

At the next system start, systemd automatically starts the getty service for you.

Example

For 3270/tty2, issue:
# systemctl enable serial-getty@3270-tty2.service
# systemctl start serial-getty@3270-tty2.service
