Setting up the NETIUCV device driver

7.1 z/VM guest

There are no kernel or module parameters for the NETIUCV device driver, but you might need to load the netiucv module, if it has been compiled as a separate module.

You also need to set up a TCP/IP service machine as a peer for IUCV connections from Linux®.

Loading the IUCV modules

If netiucv has been compiled as a separate module, you need to load it before you can work with IUCV devices. Use modprobe to load the module to ensure that any other required modules are also loaded.
# modprobe netiucv
