For the OSAINFO command, I forgot to add that you need to tell it what interface you want the info on.

Example: %%EZACMD 'ping -v w3.ibm.com' See the Comm Server manual "IP Sys Admin Commands" for details about using these two commands. Note: From reading the manual, it looks like you will need to do some configuration work before you can use EXACMD.

First of all, is there a console command that can be used to display the MAC address of an OSA port? Second, is there a console command to ping an IP address out an OSA port? I scanned the manuals and didn't see anything for either of these. Here's the situation. We're trying to bring up a new LPAR on a remote machine. TCP/IP comes up, and it activates 1 of the 2 OSA ports we're supposed to be using. But we can't ping into the LPAR, and can't find any command that we could run from the console to see if we can ping out. Also, we are looking for the MAC address of the 2 OSA ports to see if the switch is even seeing them. As far as the HMC issue is, this is a z196 machine with a bunch of OSA cards in it - 12 to be exact. But if I go to the HMC, and look at the OSA advanced facility screen, only 5 OSAs show up on that screen. Shouldn't all the OSA cards/ports show up on the HMC OSA ADV FAC screen? Any suggestions?
