Which means - if z/OS LPAR connects to hipersocket first (not using port name), then z/VM connects next (using port name XYZ), then z/OS guest (which may be an image copy of z/OS in LPAR) will have to use portname XYZ. Right? There is also z/VSE guest on the diagram provided in another thread. z/VSE's stack (at least if it is a CSI stack) can also optionally specify port name on the DEFINE LINK statement. AFAIK, there is no way to query the current port name for the real hipersocket and no way to reset it to nothing. So, to clear this, detach all connections from the hipersocket, define them all without port name (or with the same port name if you insist), vary off the hipersocket CHPID from all LPARs, vary it on to all LPARs and reconnect all stacks.
