Check your directory for NICDEFs and your MVSXExx users for error
messages. I suspect you have a NICDEF or Define NIC with devices greater
than 3. For example you could have a
NICDEF 1340 type qdio devices 6
CP SEND does not show you the error message on your console but instead
over on MVSXE49's. So your define nic might have failed but your couple
still succeeded in coupling the base nic address (1340) to your VSWITCH.
The detach then destroyed the 1340 nic allowing the next define nic to
succeed and you get the results you originally wanted. I'd be happy to
look at this issue more if you want to send me your consoles or a snapshot
of your directory, etc.

Unexpected DEFINE NIC Results
Sometimes CP doesn't do what you expect. Here's an example where I
needed the NIC for z/OS to be at address 1344 rather than 0D00. Not
hard to fix dynamically... Let's try:

OK, one down, two to go, (now that I have my technique down pat):
cp send cp mvsxe49 detach nic d00

cp send cp mvsxe62 detach nic d00
Ready;
cp send cp mvsxe49 define nic 1344 type qdio

cp send cp mvsxe62 define nic 1344 type qdio

Huh? Where did "1340" come from? Oh well, if at first you don't
succeed:
cp send cp mvsxe49 detach nic 1340
