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!)?
Yeah, go with OSA now--and when you go to VM, use VSWITCH and it'll continue to look like OSA.
