Hello List, Last Friday we migrated one of our VM systems. This VM is one of four tha t use static routing only. Now I have found that the IP configuration rules have been changed in z/VM 5.2. So I changed the HOME and GATEWAY statements in the configuration file. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to get it fully functional. I can ping my gateway and even the nameserver bu t I can't ping the servers I need to access.
The old z/VM 4.4 configuration: HOME 10.81.32.11 CTCLVM42 10.81.32.11 CTCLVM43 10.81.32.11 CTCLVM45 10.81.32.11 OSAETH2 10.81.32.01 OSAETH0 GATEWAY ; (IP) Network First Link Max.

When I try to ping the server by its name (PING HNYM-CDT1) the name get's resolved and the ping will try to reach 10.1.1.73, but no success. Now I noticed the default was presented as a default gateway (flags UGS) in the old VM and the new one is a host (flags UGHS). Other than that I think the netstat gate output is the same in both systems. Any ideas on how to fix this? TIA, Berry.
