Hi,
I am not sure about something and would like confirmation.
Assuming this setup:
+-LPAR A--+-LPAR B---+
| +---+ | +---+ |
| | X | | + Y + |
| +---+ | +---+ |
| | | | |
| +----|----+ |
| | VM | VM | |
+---------+----------+
| OSA |
+-----+
VM TCPIP in LPAR A: 10.0.0.7
VM TCPIP in LPAR B: 10.0.0.12
Virtual machine X in LPAR A: 10.1.4.2
Virtual machine Y in LPAR B: 10.1.3.2
Our network routes requests for 10.1.4.2 to 10.0.0.7,
which is connected to X via a virtual CTC.
Machine X has 10.0.0.7 as its default gateway, so all
of its traffic, in and out, is via 10.0.0.7.
Now I was asked to do the same thing with a
virtual machine in LPAR B:
1) to set the default gateway in machine Y to 10.0.0.12
2) to connect VM TCPIP to machine Y with a VCTC
3) to have the network route traffic for 10.1.3.2 to 10.0.0.12
so that VM's TCPIP at 10.0.0.12 will send it on to 10.1.3.2.
My problem is that I *think* I understand that the OSA
will not agree to do this, since the VM host on LPAR A
has the OSA defined as PRIROUTER and on LPAR B
it is defined as NONROUTER.
So, my questions here are:
1) Can the task requested be done, or will NONROUTER prevent
VM in LPAR B from getting the packets for 10.1.3.2?
2) If #1 is in fact a problem, how can it be solved WITHOUT going
to VSWITCH? Is there such a solution?
Thanks,
Shimon
