Hi With the help of IBM support we were able to figure out my problem. It turns out that we have a Source VIPA defined and active on the z/OS LPAR. In the HOME address specifications I had the z/VM HOME address below the VIPA HOME address. When I Pinged VM it wanted to respond back via the VIPA HOME IP address which was different than the HOME IP address that I had defined for the z/OS LPAR in TCPIP in VM. As a simple correction I changed the order of the HOME addresses on the z/OS side putting the VM HOME IP address above the VIPA HOME IP address then the PING was successful.

If you can provide that, along with the output of NETSTAT HOME GATE from VM and MVS, then we should be able to ferret out the problem. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
