You don't say what level of z.OS, but I think it has to be minimum 1.10 if not 1.11.

On one particular z/VM we have a hipersocket link to a z/OS system for using the TSMTCS backup application. Currently only the layer 3 guests use the hipersockets. We tried to define the hipersocket link on the z/OS system To a layer 2 Linux guest but there is no connection for some reason. Has anyone else tried this and if so were you successful?
