Workaround is to use something like IUCV=iucv=TCPIP *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107162 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
Description of problem: We use IUCV for network connectivity for the Linux guests on z/VM 3.10. No matter where I place the statement "iucv=TCPIPLNX" in the REDHAT PRM file, the install program wouldn't never accept "iucv=TCPIPLNX" just like other parameters in the REDHAT PRM file. I had tried all upper, lower, or combination of upper/lower case for iucv=TCPIPLNX" with no success. The install process will not prompt with IUCV=TCPIPLNX in uppercase, but it failed to establish the network connectivity between the Linux guest and TCPIPLNX (IP Stack) machine. 'SPOOL PUNCH * RDR' 'PUNCH KERNEL IMG B (NOH' 'PUNCH REDHAT PRM A (NOH' 'PUNCH INITRD IMG B (NOH' 'IPL 00C' The circumvention is to exclude "iucv=TCPIPLNX" in the parm file and key it in when prompted during the install. File REDHAT PRM - a CMS file on z/VM.
