Virtual Device spontaneous combustion!

[John Earl <johnearl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We keep getting bitten by an autoconfig type of a problem
with our virtual devices, but I can't figure out why it's
happening.

QAUTOCFG is set to '0' (off)
QAUTORMT is set to '0' (off) ... (but this _should_ be
irrelevant)
QAUTOVRT is set to 0
And the TCPIP interface line description is set to Auto
Creat Controllers(*NO)

Yet, on whenever someone connects to an existing virtual
device using a different device type (a 3477 for example
trying to connect to an existing 3197 device description),
the QTGTTELNET job will delete and recreate the device to
suit fir the new device type.

This isn't what we want to happen.  We want the system to
keep searching for a valid device and if it doesn't find a
match, then refuse connection.   Unfortunately, I can't seem
to get the system to stop authomatically re-creating virtual
devices.

(OS=V4R3)

Help!
