Chapter 6. Networking

In this chapter we test guest relocation in a layer 2 environment, how it affects MAC

addresses and how it could affect DB2. In another test, we use SCP to copy a very large file

from one Linux on System z guest to another Linux on System z guest and then relocate the

guest to other members in the SSI cluster. We will be changing the Maximum Transmission

Unit (MTU) size on two guests to 1492 and 8992 (jumbo frame), and then run an SQL query

from guest 1 to retrieve data from DB2 on guest 2.
