Hi all, I have a vswitch problem (like it says in the subject). I started with this:
LAN----OSA----VM---VSE Where the VM acts as virtual router to the VSE, and defines the link on the OSA as primary router. Then I changed that to this: LAN---OSA---VSWITCH---VM---VSE where the vswitch is now PRIROUTER, and VM couples via VNIC. No other changes I can think of. The VSE has a VCTC connecting it to VM TCPIP, as its default gateway, and the LAN considers VM as the gateway to the VSE. Here are the profile statements I changed: OLD method, NO vswitch: ; LINK THROUGH QDIO OSA B2 TO MAIN 10.0.0.0/16 LAN DEVICE OSA-B2 OSD B200 PORTNAME OSAQDB2 PRIROUTER LINK LAN10 QDIOETHERNET OSA-B2 START OSA-B2 NEW method, WITH vswitch: ; LINK THROUGH QDIO NIC F00 TO VSW1 - TO MAIN 10.0.0.0/16 LAN DEVICE NIC-F00 OSD F00 PORTNAME VSWNIC1 LINK LAN10 QDIOETHERNET NIC-F00 START NIC-F00 My assumption was that this would be a piece of cake, unfortunately it simply doesn't work. Not only can the LAN no longer reach the VSE behind the VM, I can't even get a ping response from VM itself. The vswitch itself is defined like this: 'CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSW1 RDEV B20D B30D PRIROUTER' 'CP SET VSWITCH VSW1 GRANT TCPIP' The stack is from z/VM 4.3, but the CP component is 4.4, as are the vswitch controller virtual machines.
