Hi fellow listers,
Our z/VM environment currently sits behind a firewall. We would like to
allow one Linux guest to act as an Internet server. We do not however want
to expose the other Linux guests or the z/VM environment itself to the
outside world. We are using VSWITCH.
Is this possible? Wh
I'm surprised that your posting about being able to backup/restore
DCSS/NSS files to disk was not jumped on by a lot of people. I'd love
to have that. Does it/can it restore the original creation DCSS/NSS
date? The date problem and the fact that IBM's DCSSBKUP only works
with DCSS's, not NSS
Your disappointment in IPGATE's hangups should be proportional to how
often your AVS server hangs up. IPGATE hangs maybe 4 times a year. If it
were supported we could call it in and sit with someone on the phone to
debug it, but it is a freebie and 4 times a year isn't that hard on our
operations.
Hi Alan,
Not to belabor the subject I just want to make sure I understand. Here
is what my issue was.
I processed many SQL queries of DB2 tables via DB2 connect running on a
z/OS LPAR down to a Linux server running on the same machine but a
different z/VM LPAR without any issues. Until, we ran a

Packet fragmentation is done in the TCP/IP stack. The stack will chunk the
packet up into smaller packets before sending it over the HiperSockets
device.
