Allan > I cannot help, with this question but you will probably get a better answer on the TCP/IP list:
In general regarding questions involving IP platforms on z Series, you are correct. However, in this case, assuming that what is said in the only reference manual for OSA features - excluding ICC, "Open Systems Adapter-Express Customers Guide and Reference", SA22-7935-10, under "OSA support for Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad)"[1], Mark looks to have had the best and only answer there is. Of course, it may be that what Mark describes is not "Link Aggregation" in which case he needs to be clearer.
