I configuration like this will purposely route any packets intended for z/VM 5.1 and Linux through the z/VM 4.3 system. That's fine if you are trying to insulate z/VM 5.1.

If you want both VMs to have access to the network as equals, it is just easiest to give them each OSA devices and set up a Vswitch for the Linux guests. Save the Hipersockets for interLPAR communications.

I know this probably isn't the list for this question but I figure it would get to the largest audience. We are in the process of installing an IFL running VM 5.1 running Linux.. I've been a single LPAR kind of guy all of my life and am a newbie at setting up this type of configuration. Below is a picture of what I want to do.



Can I configure something like this or is there a better/different way to do this? IP addresses have intentionally been left out at this point.
Thanks,
Steve
