Re: hipersockets on a VM layer 2 vswitch
Yes but the layer 2 vswitch is running on z/VM ver. 5.4. Does this mean we will need to set up a layer 2 hipersocket on the z/OS side as well? Thank you Mark, yes we are running z/OS ver. 1.10 on the LPAR running the TSMTCS app. Russell -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Jacobs Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 4:32 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: hipersockets on a VM layer 2 vswitch That lpar is running zOS 1.10.
