Hi all,
I have a VM & zLinux vswitch issue that I'm hoping someone can help me
with. I know this list is primarily z/OS but the VM lists I've looked at don't
appear to be active.
Let me state up front I know sod all about TCPIP and am doing this by following
the manuals, some of which appear to be conflicting due to different zVM
releases, or perhaps due to my lack of basic knowledge here.
I have a zVM 6.2 LPAR connected to TCPIP via OSA card at address 888
I have a zLinix LPAR connected to TCPIP via OSA card at address 780
These both work fine. We now want to run the zLinux as a VM instead of an LPAR
but when we IPL the VM it fails with -
^1A..failed qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0870 No interface found
The real VM OSA card show as -
q 888-88a
05:33:31 OSA 0888 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 0888 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID FD OSD
05:33:31 OSA 0889 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 0889 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID FD OSD
05:33:31 OSA 088A ATTACHED TO TCPIP 088A DEVTYPE OSA CHPID FD OSD
I can't list the z/LINUX LPAR virtual devices as we had to revert back to an
LPAR.
The manuals talk about defining a vswitch and we did this by issuing the
commands -
CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSWITCH1
CP SET VSWITCH VSWITCH1 GRANT LINVM
and the VSWITCH looks like
VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWITCH1 Type: QDIO Connected: 0 Maxconn: INFINITE
PERSISTENT RESTRICTED IP Accounting: OFF
USERBASED
VLAN Unaware
MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-01 MAC Protection: OFF
State: Defined
IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8
Isolation Status: OFF
and in the directory of LINVM machine we added
NICDEF 0780 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH1
According to the manuals we are following I think this is all we need to do.
What have I missed and/or screwed up?
Thanks in advance, Ron.
