Thanks all for your suggestions. Alan, we did vary of the cphids from both LPARS but maybe we varied them on line to soon. I later found out that when we try to disable/enable the card port (OSA express) it displayed a hardware state of "LinkMonitor". I searched the web and IBM site and found it but no explanation of what it means.
Can you direct me to the manual,URL or an explanation?

To reset an OSA, you must vary the *chpid* offline in all LPARs that have it online. Then vary it back online. You can use HMC or operating system commands to do that.
