And one last thing.... Would I have both a Ethernet connection and Hipersockets(His) interface set up on all of the guests to handle both methods?

So in my case if I want my APP Layer z/Linux guest on the APP Layer LPAR to talk to my Data Layer z/Linux guest on the Data Layer LPAR I would use Hipersockets. Once I am in the Data Layer LPAR and want to talk between other Data Layer guests within the LPAR the use of a Vswitch is the way to go. Am I understanding this now?

Using hipersockets requires a trip out of the VM system (even if it's between virtual machines), whereas using the VSwitch stays within CP. On 04/29/2010 10:06 PM, Martin, Terry R.
