If I DEDicate the 3 OSA addresses and comment out the NICDEF, I can ping
the SUSESP2 machine.
 
If I use the NICDEF statement and comment out the DEDicated OSA
addresses, I can not ping the SUSESP2 machine.
 
In either instance, SUSESP2 is re-IPL'd to affect the change.

What if you LEAVE SUSE2P in and define the 3 OSA addresses?  I am not
sure the two are related.  I am GUESSING the 3 OSA's work but nicdef 340
does not.

We are running z/VM 5.2 service level 0602.

 

I have issued the following commands:

 

DEFINE VSWITCH SWITCH1 RDEV 203 CONNECT

 

SET VSWITCH SWITCH1 GRANT SUSESP2

 

In the SUSESP2 directory entry, I have the following:

 

NICDEF 340 TYPE QDIO DEV 3 LAN SYSTEM SWITCH1 

 

When I bring up the SUSESP2 machine, I see the message that device 340
has been defined.

 

The SUSESP2 machine comes up normally.

 

Here is the output from the Q VSWITCH DET command:

 

 

q vswitch det

However, I cannot ping the machine SUSESP2.

 

If I take SUSESP2 out of the VSWITCH and use 3 OSA addresses, I can ping
the machine SUSESP2.

 

What am I doing wrong ?
