VTAM (VSE, VM, MVS) XCA nodes cannot drive anything in a VSWITCH. VTAM XCA nodes use an adapter protocol called "LSA" which, like IP's old LCS protocol, is available only in OSE chpids. VSWITCH NICs, however, simulate OSD chpids. If, someday, VTAM changes from LSA to layer 2 QDIO connections, then it will work. Until then .... Comm Server for Linux, OTOH, can use CTC to talk to VTAM or it can [now] use layer 2 OSD chpids (real OSA or VSWITCH) to talk to a VTAM XCA node.
