Q: Can I configure a combination of regular console sessions
and Hot Console sessions?
A: Yes. You can determine which sessions need to be hot
and which ones do not.
Q: Does the CCA-3074 support some way to track what
users connect to the platform?
A: Yes. The CCA-3074 keeps a sessions log which logs
when users connect to the CCA-3074, disconnect from
the CCA-3074, and when a failed attempt to get a session
from the CCA-3074 occurs. The size of the file kept or
how long it is kept is configurable.
Q: Does the CCA-3074 support Long Wave (single-mode
fiber) or Short Wave (multimode fiber) FICON?
A: The CCA-3074 can support either environment, but you
must order it for whichever you are using in your
environment.
Q: Can I mix Long Wave (single-mode fiber) and Short
Wave (multimode fiber) FICON on the CCA-3074?
A: The CCA-3074 can support either environment, but you
must order the interface for whichever you are using in
your environment.
Q: Can I configure Hot VTAM sessions?
A: In general, you do not need to. The host should detect
when a VTAM terminal powers up, and provide the user
with a new session. Configuring a VTAM session as a hot
session on the CCA-3074 may result in unpredictable
results.
Q: How do I make a Hot Session roll to another terminal?
A: Do not configure a Hot Session if you need it to roll to
another terminal automatically. If you need to switch
control of a console to another device you can use normal
console commands to disable a console and activate a
different console. Of course if the CCA-3074 powers
down, or otherwise stops communicating with the host,
all console sessions will automatically roll to their
alternates or to the support element.
