I believe its "IUCV=TCPIP" but haven't ever done anything with IUCV -- Karsten?
That's correct, the parameter is IUCV=TCPIP for VM or IUCV=$TCPIP for VIF. (I don't know if we support Virtual Image Facility and if this is something we can set up and test on our z900) If not, we can hardcode IUCV=TCPIP in the linuxrc and don't need a description in the release notes. Bill, any comments about VIF ?
Ok, I've read some docs and IUCV= can't be hardcoded to TCPIP. Although connecting to the TCPIP service machine is the most common usage, connections to other Linux guests are possible as well. Our installer already knows about the IUCV= parameter, it just needs to be documented. (Mail sent to documentation team)
Verified that IUCV=iucv=TCPIP works. Doc needs to be updated. I will close this but will make sure doc gets updated prior to the end of the test period.
