Re: New z/VM 5.3 VSWITCH Port Isolation function

2008-04-22 Thread Wolfgang Engel
Alan, the subject brought me to a question I have in mind for some time. There seems to be a feature on z/VM's (4.4 to 5.2) which prevents the guests on the same VSWITCH to talk to eachother. This is what happens on our system with every VSWITCH I create. Every guest can't talk to other guests

Hi, Wolfgang, There is nothing in the VSWITCH that will come up by default to prevent guests from talking to each other. If you send me your configuration information, I can take a look and see what might be going on.The default for a VSWITCH in z/VM 5.2 is DEFINE VSWITCH vswitchname

This is also documented in the PSP bucket for TCPIP530. Also in the PSP bucket for ZVM530 is the list of the 19 PTFs you should put on AFTER applying RSU0703, so you're not quite done yet. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

Actually, I have a question about this. We have two identical (at least, as far as I can tell/remember) vanilla VM 5.3 lpars--one was actually a clone of the other--that I updated with the 5303 RSU service. The original lpar updated with no problems, but the second (clone) died with this

Hi Shannon, usually what happens is that somewhere along the line the system gets left in a state where the filepool server is up. If you look in the TCP2PROD $MSGLOG on maint's a-disk, you can see exactly what happened. By the way, a long long time ago I was the IBM mainframe SE for Suntrust.

I have a z/OS 1.9 system using an OSA to reach the internet and Hipersockets for LPAR communication. I then copied this system to a guest under z/VM. On the guest I attached the z/OS to my VSWITCH, and changed the IP address then brought up TCPIP on that adapter without problem. But the

In February, I installed PTF UK33720 on a 5.2 system. This PTF was correcting a problem in the FTP Server code wherein an FTP APPEND to a file residing in SFS could wipe out an existing file if a timeout of a data connection request occurred. I see no corresponding PTF for 5.3, which raises the
