I'm afraid this has now gone outside my area of expertise...
From what IBM say it's z/VM that's caused the connection to close, which
suggests that the output on the z/OS side is ok.
Sorry I can't be of any more help. It would be useful to know what the outcome
is though.
Ron,
If JES is saying the networking is started, that suggests that the connection
between JES and z/VM is good.
Your PROFILE TCPIP might tell you what's on port 3603, but the z/VM TCPIP
command NETSTAT ALLC should display the connection.

Your PORT statement should be fine. It's recommended in the z/VM manual.

You don't need a separate FICON port for a FICON CTC (FCTC). Any FICON port
that is shared between the LPARS can be used. FCTC would just be another LCU

However, all the examples and diagrams about FCTC in the FICON manuals describe
using a switch - that's simply not
