IBM Z connectivity

This chapter discusses the connectivity options available to connect the IBM z14 with I/O control units, another IBM Z and the network (LAN and WAN). It also briefly highlights the hardware and software components involved in such connectivity.

The IBM Z family includes the new IBM z14 (z14) as well as the IBM z13s (z13s), IBM z13 (z13), zEnterprise zEC12, zBC12, z196, z114.

Unless otherwise stated, the term OSA applies to all OSA-Express features throughout this book.
