Hi. We have a VM system with an IP connection to the real world over a CTC.
I need to set up a connection to a vm running z/tpf which requires an osa-e card. This I believe I can simulate using DEFINE LAN QDIO, DEFINE NIC QDIO, and COUPLE for a guest lan or DEVICE/LINK for a point-to-point connection. But, iiuc, I can't use a VSWITCH to get to the outside world, as this requires a real osa-e card. I believe I need to use instead a router virtual machine, which I can do using the TCPIP machine (data volumes are very low, so is a secondary machine really necessary?) Does all this make sense? Am I right in thinking that for this small configuration its easier to go with the point-to-point configuration rather then the guest lan. Do then I still need separate subnets for the two links? Are there any guides on configuring such a setup? Thanks, ian ... Ian S.
