I am trying to connect to my test lpar(where I have installed z/OS1.9) so I can install 1.11. I have moved all tcp and vtam related parms over to 1.9(so it should look like the test lpar 1.6) I have the OSA devices online, I have vtam connecting and I thought I had tcp correct also. The reason I say I have everything correct is, when I bring vtam, tcp up I recieve no errors(as I did previous, but that's another story) I now come back to my pc and I attempt to connect to the 1.9 lpar but I recieve 3 messages on my emulator. I am unsure of the order but here are the messages: 1)Local socket is connecting to remote server/host xx.xxx.xx.xxx using port 23 2)Failed connecting to remote server/host timeout has reached using port 23 3)Hostname not specified or found I then have a black screen with a lightening bolt 658. I am confused becasue if I re-ipl my old system I connect right up. I can ping the ip address so it is seen. I tried to telnet over from my prod lpar but get: EZA8262I Foreign host rejected the open attempt (8547) Which doesn't tell me anything more than ithe host rejected the open. What am I missing??
