The same way as E0? Then in Linux you can “bond” the two interfaces, which will provide either load balancing or hot standby.

One is z/VM, the other is z/OS. Our requirement is to build connection between z/Linux running on z/VM and z/OS system. Therefore, I defined a new IQD type channel(E0 5000-5031) in IODF. The directory definition for z/Linux is: -------------------------------------------------------------- USER LNXEWA LNXEWA 1G 1G G INCLUDE LNXDFLT OPTION LNKNOPAS APPLMON NICDEF 600 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM CPOVSW1 DEDICATE 7000 5004 DEDICATE 7001 5005 DEDICATE 7002 5003 CONSOLE 700 3215 T OPMGRM1 OBSERVER MDISK 0200 3390 0001 END LAE400 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM MDISK 0201 3390 0001 END LAE401 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM -------------------------------------------------------------- It clearly that address 5004/5005/5003 is belong to IQD type channel E0, and it works well now. I plan to define an additional IQD type channel(E1 6000-6031) to avoid single point of failure for hipersocket connection. But I don't know how to use this new channel E1 for current linux system. How to define it in USER DIRECT? Best Regards! Gao Lu (高路) I/T Specialist Global Technology Services IBM Global Services (China) Company Limited.
