VM/370 Initial Startup
At this point - the system files, virtual disks and other files have been properly located, but then environment will need to be prepared for next steps.
Filesixpack.conf
will need to be reviewed
Adjust Config File
As delivered, the configuration file will need to be adjusted for subsequent validation/test activities.
- Beneath the commented
httpport
line, add the timezone offset for your local system#HTTPPORT 8081 TZOFFSET -0800
- Locate these statements
# These two packs are for CMS/DOS. I have not tested CMS/DOS! # Un-comment them if you use them. #06a0 3350 disks/sysres.3350.cckd ro sf=disks/shadows/sysres_ #07a0 3350 disks/mcat01.3350.cckd ro sf=disks/shadows/mcat01_
- Uncomment them so they look like this:
06a0 3350 disks/sysres.3350.cckd ro sf=disks/shadows/sysres_ 07a0 3350 disks/mcat01.3350.cckd ro sf=disks/shadows/mcat01_
Adjust Startup File
As delivered, the startup file sixpack.cmd
is very rudimentary:
- sixpack.cmd
: This command file launches the VM/370 SixPack. : Ensure that the Hercules executable (hercules.exe) is in your path. start hercules -f sixpack.conf > Log.txt : Now start the 3270 emulator. : Feel free to replace this with your preferred terminal emulation program. cd WC3270 start wc3270.exe -keymap 3270 -title "VM Login" Model5.wc3270 cd ..
This will need to be replaced later - but for now, we assume that a properly installed
hercules.exe
file is available in your path and you may now launch sixpack.cmd
.
Initial Logon
Once launched, two screens will appear
Hercules console
VM3270 Terminal Window
Although the SixPack default window (as distributed) is a Model 5, for purposes of demonstration, we are showing a smaller window.
