Did I read somewhere (the "where" being a place I cannot at this point locate) that the number of IP stacks which could be associated with a single OSA adapter was 640? Running several thousand desktop systems on System z is meaningful only if those operating systems can access a (the) network.
Is that stack association limit correct? If this is the case, is there a circumvention? Can multiple OSA adapters be associated with a single VLAN? I'm trying to figure out if this or some other software/hardware constraint is a limiting factor for the number of virtual machines which can share a network on or through System z. --. .- .-. -.-- Gary Dennis Mantissa Corporation
