New ACF2 VM install, ACF2 VM MAINT logonid suspended

Products

• ACF2 for zVM

Issue/Introduction

IPL has been done OK. Changed the VMO options as documented. It's OK
We logged a few machines (password needed to be changed) : OK.

But...
When trying to log on MAINT, too many wrong attempts were made... and now MAINT is suspended
Tried to use the panels (ACFFS) to resolve that, but none of the other VM logonids are authorized to "un-suspend" MAINT.

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : ACF2 for z/VM

z/VM: 7.2

Resolution

IPL your system with the NOAUTO CA ACF2 for z/VM option. Issue the "ACFSERVE ENABLE NOAUTO UPDATES" command to start the service machine to allow updates, then use ACF to change MAINT's pswd-vio to 0.
