We are having a connection issue with a couple of our linux guests that simply proves I don't know what I'm doing AND I can't seem to RTFM correctly
Environment is Suse 11 guests on z/VM 6 trying to connect to z/OS 1.12 on a z196, The first 8 guests work just fine - z/OS IP address is 192.168.4.2 and the guests are 192.168.4.xxx and all are using CHPID E8 After the 8 guests are defined, we are out of E8 triplets so we give the next 2 E9xx triplets. The z/OS stack has E9 defined and started as 192.168.4.3. The 2 new guests can ping themselves but not the z/OS, z/OS can ping itself but not the 2 new guests - the 8 guests on E8 are no problem but no joy going to E9 . Changing the dedicate statement for the guest to use EAxx also gets no joy - even though the z/OS thinks it has EA at 192.168.4.4 The redbook for hipersockets isn't helping today - nor is the communications server manual. I'm sure that this is something blindingly simple but I just don't see it - would someone please point this dba who is subbing as a sysprog in the right direction. >From the tcpip profile for the z/os stack : . .
