We had this kind of problems year ago too. Totally different hardware
tho, but the problem (AFAIK) was that TCP/IP is just I/O for VM and by
simply giving more priority for TCP/IP solved the problem. Symtoms were
that when we had heavy disk I/O (from the Linux side) we lost the
OSPF-routes as the zVM wasn't responsing quick enought or something.
Messy description, but primarily i am Linux-guy - not MF-one :)
