Hipersockets are *MUCH MUCH* faster than exiting one LPAR and returning to another via OSA cards. This is done via an internal memory to memory transfer. All of the OSA overhead as well as the network latency are eliminated.
However, as all LPAR's are in the same SYSPLEX, all of the data should be accessible from any of the members of the sysplex, So the question becomes what is the benefit? IMO, the benefit of HIPERSOCKETS in the described situation is minimal. HTH, <snip> So apart from above is there any compelling reason to use hipersocket if the all the LPARS are in same sysplex. </snip> This email � including attachments � may contain confidential information.
