I am trying to find a replacement for SNA Link in Z/OS 2.5. My problem, I have 4 LPAR's on one physical CPU. Normally to IP between the LPAR's we would just FTP to that LPAR's IP address and we had no issue. Now all of sudden the traffic is timing out. My routes are very simple, just a default route that sends everything to the switches that the OSA's connect to. I have spoken to the Switch support team and they say since the mainframes are on the same IP Segment it is not being passed to the FW. Unfortunately the switch team doesn't have any tools that will show what is happening to the traffic once the switch gets it. So I wanted to bypass the switches and setup an SNA Link type replacement. I see that feature is not defined in Z/OS 2.5. On another client we use Hiper Sockets to bypass the switches for internal IP between the LPAR's. On this particular CPU, Hiper Sockets devices are not configured in the IO Gen. So is there something in Z/OS 2.5, besides Hiper Sockets, that support a device and link type statements to all traffic between LPAR's on the same CPU?
