Thanks for the information. For some reason I was under the impression
that you could not use Hipersockets to talk between z/Linux guests, this
is why we set up Vswitches and talk between guests using OSA. Am I
confusing something here? 

Thank You,

Yes, just attach a hipersocket triplet to each Linux guest in each of 
the LPARs.  Configure the hsi interfaces appropriately and you're off to

the races.
