Configure Linux Connector Interface (LXC)

The CA OPS/MVS Linux Connector Interface (LXC) provides the ability to automate unsolicited VM and Linux messages. These messages are forwarded to CA OPS/MVS through the Linux Connector Component product running on the same system. The Linux Connector Component also provides command and response processing to the connected VM and Linux systems. LXC does not directly communicate with the VM and Linux guest systems.

Linux Connector Component Set Up

See the CA Common Services for Z/OS Installation Guide for information about installation, configuration, and operation of the Linux Connector Component.

Note: The CA OPS/MVS main address space must have read access to the TCP/IP data set (hlq.TCPIP.DATA) to determine the correct TCP/IP started task with which it will communicate. The data set must be allocated to ddname SYSTCPD automatically by the system, explicitly in the OPSSPA00 REXX program that is run at productname> initialization, or through a JCL statement in the OPSMAIN started procedure.
