Re: hipersocket address versus regular address

2008-02-28 Thread David Boyes
When setting up the IP address for a hipersocket I am curious as to if people are giving it the same IP address as with the regular outside of the mainframe (OSA or whatever) IP address. Absolutely DO NOT do this. Each interface needs a unique address (and IMHO, a unique DNS name). The whole

Absolutely DO NOT do this. Each interface needs a unique address (and IMHO, a unique DNS name). The whole premise of IP routing and network function is based on this concept. You don't have to have a per interface IP address or DNS (or indeed MAC address), but they must be at least per host

re-building the Etch kernel

2008-02-28 Thread Dennis Foreman
Problem solved. The original .config file (which I used as a base) did not have the DASD or TTY drivers devices built into the kernel, but had them set to be loaded in as modules, which didn't happen when I tried to run my build. I re-did the build, specifying that they have to be built-in and

You don't have to have a per interface IP address or DNS (or indeed MAC address), but they must be at least per host (and virtual machines with their own IP stack are a host). IP is quite happy with that situation. I'd argue that you will have more problems trying to make this work reliably

rebuilding Etch kernel - thanks

Many thanks to Mark Post, John Summerfield, Adam Thornton and especially Piotr Kolasinski for all the time and effort they put into getting my system up and running. I hope that one day I will know enough about the system to be able to pay it forward. Regards, D.J. Foreman, Ph.D. website:

O I'd argue that you will have more problems trying to make this work reliably than just doing it the way I described. If you've got time to debug this and all the paths have equivalent permissions and usability characteristics, then yes, it's technically possible. You just have to have a lot
