So...I'll be inheriting an H50 and have been tasked to setup this box so that we can basically POC and Demo VSE, OS/390 2.10, z/OS 1.3, z/VM4.3 and S/390 Linux.
It'll have 4 NIC cards, one will be used for SE and LAN3274 consoles. 3 will be available for IP and SNA (not sure if we'll have a need to demo SNA) Suggestions for design? I was thinking of using z/VM and guest lans to establish connectivity between the z/VM images and the z/OS images. Then I'll need CTC's for the 2.10 & VSE LPARs right? Given that I only have 3 NIC cards to use and they aren't sharable, I will quickly run out of cards as I add more LPARs, if I don't use some type of virtual cards and lans or CTCs?? I guess I'm still confused on whether I should be using VM proxy arp and one subnet...or should I go the guest lan/ctc route with different subnets? Also, does it make sense to keep the z/OS and OS390 images in their own LPARs versus under zVM ...I'm thinking YES... (rambling...) Any suggestions on design for a sandbox H50 are appreciated...
