After the VM has been initialized, the VM administrator can start the administration dialog with his or her VM (ADMIN dialog from a privileged user task (recommended) or using $VMCONS).
The procedure for establishing a connection and the structure of the ADMIN dialog is described in detail in section "VM2000 Operating strategy".
The dialog from a privileged user task or using $VMCONS is opened with the command /BEGIN-VM-DIALOG VM-ID=...,PASSWORD=...,TYPE=*STD/*ADMIN(...).
Up to 15 ADMIN dialogs can be carried out concurrently for each VM from different privileged user tasks. In addition, an ADMIN dialog can be conducted for each VM via $VMCONS.
If a password for dialog access was defined when the VM was initialized (see "Initializing a VM"), it must be specified when opening a dialog with /BEGIN-VM-DIALOG.
