Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 LPAR mode z/VM guest

The CTCM device driver provides different kinds of CTC connections between mainframes, z/VM® guests, and LPARs.

The CTCM device driver provides:

  • MPC connections to VTAM® on traditional mainframe operating systems.
  • ESCON or FICON® CTC connections (standard CTC and basic CTC) between mainframes in basic mode, LPARs or z/VM guests.

    For more information about FICON, see Redpaper FICON CTC Implementation, REDP-0158.

  • Virtual CTCA connections between guests of the same z/VM system.
  • CTC connections to other Linux® instances or other mainframe operating systems.
