Doc: is "internal architecture" schema correct? #782

Closed Bischoff closed 5 months ago

Bischoff commented 8 months ago

https://cloudlib4zvm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture.html#internal-architecture shows "IUCV" as the way the Feilong connector and SMAPI communicate.

According to "Update BYOL definition about IUCV" section on https://cloudlib4zvm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#setup-for-z-vm-sdk-daemon, IUCV is rather used for the communication between Feilong and the deployed guests.

Which one is correct?

We once deployed Feilong z/VM without the IUCV authorizations by accident, and it was still comunicating fine with SMAPI, so I suspect it's the schema that is wrong, while the explanations in step 3 of 3.1.1 are correct.

How does Failong communicate with SMAPI by the way? I suspect with TCP/IP sockets?

Or is this an option that can be set somewhere?

After (long) discussions (sorry about that) IUCV is used for both.

Closing.
