Dear List: Does anybody have a z/OS system (I'm using 1.8, but it does not have to be) running in a virtual machine under z/VM (I'm using 5.3.0, but it does not have to be) and the z/OS virtual machine is connected to a guest virtual LAN.
If so, can you please answer the following questions: 1) what is the OSA CHPID type defined as for your z/VM system? 2) what are the DEVICE and LINK statements defining your guest virtual LAN for your TCPIP virtual machine? 3) what are the DEVICE and LINK statements for z/OS's TCP/IP definitions for the connection to the guest virtual LAN? Doing a lot of RTFM-ing, it seems that the CHPID type must be OSA Express in QDIO mode (TYPE=OSD in the I/O Config.) and the virtual LAN segment must also be in QDIO mode (the only other choice is HIPERSOCKETS - DEFINE LAN VMLAN1 QDIO OWNER SYSTEM in the SYSTEM CONFIG file). The DEVICE and LINK statements for TCP/IP in z/OS seem to be: DEVICE ZVMLAN1 MPCIPA NONROUTER LINK VLAN1 IPAQENET ZVMLAN1 But there is mention made of requiring a TRL and TRLE definition running in VTAM. Is this TRUE? I find it difficult to believe that I have to involve VTAM in this configuration. But, then again, ..... Any help/guidance greatly appreciated. TIA HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.
