LINUX

The LINUX target system should have in its VM Directory entry, a CONSOLE statement that sets its PSM as its default secondary user. For example, if the virtual machine LNXAO1 is controlled by a PSM running in virtual machine ISQPSM1, then its CONSOLE statement might be:

CONSOLE  009 3215 T ISQPSM1

When a LINUX target system is to be deactivated a FORCE command is used to shut it. The default guest signal timeout interval values (set by the SET SIGNAL command) and values defined for the guest machine determine the interval used when allowing the LINUX system to shut in an orderly fashion. If this function is required for a guest, you must ensure that this is set accordingly.

Such actions may include updating the etc/inittab entry on the LINUX system itself, and setting up a SHUTTRAP module on the VM host.
