On the issue of running from the console... check out the parameters
ENDSBSOPT and BCHTIMLMT on the ENDSBS command.

They can be used to issue saves and restores in a restricted state
without the need for a console.

We just upgraded to a Power 7 box a week ago, so this is our first
exposure to using a HMC. Previously we had a twinax attached Console.


We are running V7R7.2.0.1 of HMC. The HMC is located offsite.

Now the problem I'm having is that I create a 5250 session to the
console, but it will timeout after about 90 minutes with the following

messages.

CPF5140 Session stopped by a request from device DSP01.
CPF2677 Device DSP01 no longer communicating

This is not terrible except that we use a custom System Save. The
system save is started on DSP01 and waits until a message is sent from

the job scheduler to start the save. We can't get this to work now
because of the timeout. How can I prevent the Console from timing

out?

I guess as a side question, Is it still a requirement that the system

save run from a Console?

Thanks.

Mike
