Where I did initially like IUCV and VCTCA, both methods are Point to Point on an IP network. (it seemed simplier) It violates all the standard networking laws.
Every time I showed our IP setup to the network people, they were just confused and I didn't know why. But in z/VM 5.2, support was dropped for IUCV and VCTCA on an IP network. When I migrated over to z/VM 5.2, I had lots of VSE and Linux images that had to be converted. But first, I had to learn real IP networking (subnets, broadcast address, router address, etc). I also converted over to VSWITCH which made life soo much easier.

So? Who is using this stuff for installation these days (except perhaps on Hercules)? If someone is, on real System z hardware, they're being overly masochistic to say the least. Don't do that.
