We are starting our Linux POC and all has been going well. Until I got to the Hipersockets, that is.
We are trying to talk to two z/OS LPARs, one development and one production. in our IFL LPAR, z/VM 5.2 RSU 0701 and SLES9x SP3. POC is a Java app that gets messages via MQ Series and reformats into XML and queries a site on the web via https. The initial test worked well with MQ talking over the OSAs out to our internal network and back in the other OSA (why don't we share them? Don't ask!). Now we want to modify that use a Hipersocket interface. Initial: z/OS -- OSA -- network -- OSA -- Linux (on vswitch) Wanted: z/OS -- Hipersockets -- Linux Hipersockets were defined on CHPID 50 (addresses 5000-500F) . xxx.yyy.zzz are the same for all the following addresses: Both z/OS systems are v1.6. and have addresses xxx,yyy,zzz,101 and xxx,yyy,zzz,102 (development and production, respectively) using addresses 500-5002. The z/OS systems can ping each other. I set up the z/VM guest to use 5004-5006 through dedicate statements in the SYSTEM CONFIG and used yast to add configure the interface as xxx.yyy.zzz,103. All indications are that the interface is fine: q osa OSA 2130 ATTACHED TO DTCVSW2 2130 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID F3 OSD OSA 2131 ATTACHED TO DTCVSW2 2131 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID F3 OSD OSA 2132 ATTACHED TO DTCVSW2 2132 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID F3 OSD OSA 5004 ATTACHED TO LINUX001 5000 DEVTYPE HIPER CHPID 50 IQD OSA 5005 ATTACHED TO LINUX001 5001 DEVTYPE HIPER CHPID 50 IQD OSA 5006 ATTACHED TO LINUX001 5002 DEVTYPE HIPER CHPID 50 IQD lnxa0001:/home/otsgold # ifconfig hsi0 hsi0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:172.20.1.103 Bcast:172.20.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:8192 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1048 (1.0 Kb) SLES9x info: lnxa0001:/home/otsgold # uname -a Linux lnxa0001 2.6.5-7.244-s390x #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 18:32:25 UTC 2005 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux Any ideas as to why the SLES9x will not talk to z/OS? Any thing I should look for, ask or z/OS network people, etc.?
