Under what situations would an OSA-Express used for a VSWITCH configuration
be a PriRouter? The CP Commands manual states, "PRIrouter... will act as a
primary router to the virtual switch". I'm not much of a network guy but
it seems as though the OSA is pretty "dumb" in the case of a VSwitch, simply
passing packets to the vswitch.

Yes, if you have the OSA addresses defined you can use them to share the
physical OSA port. I've done this with multiple vswitches, the VM TCPIP
stack, Linux guests, and 2nd level VM guests. However, you are limited
to
just one PRIROUTER per OSA port.
Since the VSWITCH defaults to NONROUTER, it will not interfere with the
PRIROUTER specification on VM TCP/IP.
