Define a nic in your second level system where you expect the OSA to be when you bring it up first level. Grant the second level system to the vSwitch. It should all ³just work².
I¹m currently running a CSE complex second level, testing z/VM 5.3 and preparing for implementation. I just connected both guests to the existing vSwitch and brought them up. The IP addresses have to be unique, but beyond that, it¹s the configuration I plan to drop onto the first level hardware shortly. -- .~. Robert P.
