I created a Hipersockets VLAN. I stopped the interface in TCPIP, detached the real hipersockets, defined a NIC and coupled it to the VLAN. I did the same on the z/OS guest, (which required an IPL, the devices were still active after stopping the adapter, VTAM?) and now the z/VM on the VLAN and the z/OS on the VLAN can talk to one another. So it's either a real hardware issue, doubtful, or some interaction between z/VM and z/OS. I haven't found any hits searching IBMLink.
