z/OS V2R1 Communications Server hardware requirements:
IP | Communications Server provides direct LAN communication and provides for point-to-point communication over S/390 channels (ESCON or Block Multiplex) to several IBM and equivalent other vendor devices.
A zEC12,, z196, z114, or System z10 server is required to use the following functions:
A zEC12, z196, z114, System z10, or System z9 server is required to use the following functions:
A zEC12, z196, z114, System z10, or System z9 server is required to use the following functions:
Network Attachments To attach TCP/IP to the network you need one of the following network processors and associated components or their equivalents: 2216 Multiaccess Connector Model 400®:
IBM 3172 Interconnect Controller with the Interconnect Controller Program (ICP):
Note: The Pentium P90 Processor is supported. IBM 8232 LAN Channel Station for LANs:
IBM RISC System/6000 Channel Attachment:
IBM Open Systems Adapter (OSA) Feature:
OSA Direct SNMP subagent support requires a server with the OSA-Express feature running in QDIO mode (OSD) or non-QDIO mode (OSE). It is available on all servers supported by z/OS. For information about the level of each server that is required for this support, see zEnterprise System and System z10 OSA-Express Customer's Guide and Reference. For additional information about OSA, see the following publication:
IBM 37xx family of communication controllers for X.25, Systems Network Architecture, and IP over Channel Data Link Control:
HYPERchannel A220 Processor Adapter 42990007:
The ATTENTION+BUSY and unit check conditions are normally handled in the background and can affect performance without any visible evidence. The recommendations on HYPERchannel A222 and A223 Mode Switch Settings follow:
Miscellaneous IP hardware requirements IPv6 support requires any of the following:
IP over native ATM requires:
Use of HiperSockets IPv6 support requires at a minimum a zEnterprise, System z10, or a System z9 server. Use of HiperSockets multiple write facility requires a zEnterprise server or a System z10 server. |
SNA | For communication with remote resources, one or more of the following products, or their equivalent, is required:
APPN over native ATM requires:
VTAM cryptographic enhancements, when used with the extended recovery facility (XRF) and Transaction Security System (TSS) family of products (4755), require 4755 Model 23 and later. SNA triple DES (TDES) session level encryption requires a Cryptographic Coprocessor on the server. |
