I would suggest that you use hipersockets to get to any z/OS resources you may
want on Linux, such as DB2 and use the GB osa for the 'real world'
connection. DB2 connect to Db2 data on backend is an ideal use of a
hipersocket. Using it as your only network interface is, at least in my mind,
more
complex than you need to be if you can use/share the GB Osa. Of course you
then have to have a hipersocket interface defined on the z/OS side for the
linux side to talk to but that should be apparent.

Hipersockets w/ Linux in an LPAR
Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]>
Since I don't have z/VM yet, I'm installing in an LPAR (as I've posted
before). I have the opportunity to choose hipersockets for my
communications link - but since hipersockets are "self-contained" within
the z/Series hardware, if I choose to use them would I then be effectively
passing through one of my z/OS IP stacks to reach the "outside" world (I
need connectivity to desktop browsers at the least for demonstration
purposes)? Would it be better to choose the OSA GbE for now, and worry
about hipersockets when we move to z/VM and multiple virtual servers (heh
- a new definition for the MVS acronym!)?
