In VM and I think VSE you have to use 3 cuu's for each access point (ip addr.) on an OSA. I would assume zOS is the same. The same rules apply for hipersockets. You need 3 cuu's for each access point. Access point may not be the proper term, but the end result is you use 3 cuu's for the tcpip addr. Therefore, by using that ip addr. you control what path is chosen to access the data (or whatever) where ever it's at. We set up an IFL (running VM running Linux running UDB). We used both hipersockets and OSA port to get to the data on Linux. We used the OSA for pc applications that wanted data from UDB. We used the hipersockets for applications that ran on our VM production to talk to the UDB on Linux. It worked fine, we didn't have any problems. I guess the only caveat is to make sure that the hipersockets buffer size is large enough for what you want to do. Ours were set at the default size, 8k or 16k, and we could have benefited from a larger buffer.

Somehow I think I should know it.But I don't. Anyway: we have four partitions at the moment, one of them a Linux LPAR. For networking we have OSA Express and now I want one of the z/os partitions to communicate with the Linux partition by means of hipersockets. Now for the dummy question: how does my z/os partition "know" what to use when more than one devices are defined (OSA and hipersockets)? Where to configure this? thank you, Anna ~~ Dr. Anna Fuhrmann Systemprogrammierung Mainframe MA 14-ADV * Magistrat der Stadt Wien +43 1 4000 91639 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
