Well, if an interface goes down that z/OS has in its IODF then you'll probably
get loads of messages out about it on the z/OS consoles. However, if another

There's a big difference between an IP address of the current stack and a

Have you considered writing an SPO (Secondary Program Operator) and issuing

You are correct for the RELATE type alias. The one that is linked directly to

However, with a bit of extra work you can use SYMBOLICRELATE type alias instead

I was wondering if there was an easy way to get all the authorised libraries

One suggestion and I'm talking Brocade here. Presumably Cisco have something

This sounds like the PPRC links might be a bit slow or there are not enough of

What do you have? Direct DASD to DASD or via a single SAN switch or even

the switch for the switch and RMF for the DASD)?

There must be a reason why are you using the hipersocket IP address and not

Your problem could be caused by the routing from z/OS to z/LINUX or it could
be caused by the routing back from z/LINUX to z/OS.
