How to emulate the HMC console for 2nd level VM?

[Don]

I need to bring up a second level VM system that does not have a definition
for any local 3270's. It was set up to use the HMC line mode console (SYSC).
Is there a way to emulate this environment second level on VM? I can define
a virtual 3270 console and use LOADP to override the default setting but I
would rather do the same as the 1st level set up.

Before you IPL the second level system, do: TERM SYS3270 ON
When you IPL, use LOADPARM SYSG
On the SAL screen use CONS=SYSG

Thanks for all the responses. I hadn't realized there was a SYS3270 option
on the TERM command. That was what I was looking for.

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I think that does answer my question. I will
give it a try.

I tried using SYS3270 and I abended our z/VM 5.1 system. Maybe I didn't set
it up properly but I didn't think it would cause a PRG004. I have a console
set to TERM CONMODE 3270 and SYS3270 ON. I do an IPL 6528 CLEAR LOADP SYSG.
I do not get a SALIPL screen only a VM read. Then the first level VM system
crashes with PRG004. I am doing this on a z/900 in native mode (no LPARs).
Should this work?
