Rob: Yes this will work. The vswitch will end up on the same network as
your other stacks on the same osa port. As long as this is tolerable
you will be just fine.

I currently have an OSA-Express port used soley by a z/VM 5.1 TCPIP
stack using QDIO. The user directory entry for this machine has
DEDICATE statements (for the OSA-Express). My OSD DEV/LINK definition
specificies "PRIROUTER". I do all my routing to Linux guests through
the TCP/IP stack connected to a guest LAN.
I would like to now set up a test vswitch but do not have an unused
OSA-Express port.
Assuming I have sufficient devices in my IODF, may I use separate
devices to access the same OSA port? Right now I use devices E80, E81
and E82 for the OSD type device in my machine called TCPIP. I have
the complete range of devices E80-E8E defined as OSA type devices on a
certain CHPID. E8F is the OSAD. May I use devices E83-E85 to connect
the vswitch with the OSA? I would then code the DEFINE VSWITCH
command to use RDEV E83.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
