Tags: Proceedings, 2014, SHARE in Pittsburgh 2014

zEnterprise HiperSockets are virtual LANs provided by the zEnterprise platform without any additional fee. Because they are internal and virtual LANs on the zEnterprise system, there is no exposed cable or wire and therefore provide a secure connection between LPARs in the same zEnterprise machine.
This session will detail what zEnterprise HiperSockets are and how they can be used between LPARs. HiperSockets implementation on z/OS will be explained. How some Linux on System z implementations are resistant to use dynamic routing; why without dynamic routing HiperSockets and OSA connections between z/OS and Linux on System z will need static routing definitions; and HiperSockets routing options between z/OS and Linux on System z will be discussed.-Linda Harrison-IBM Corporation
