Thanks Alan. I'm still at a bit of a loss to understand how to connect the simulated OSA-E to the real CTC.
The only way I can find to define a simulated OSA-E is with the DEFINE NIC TYPE QDIO command and, according to the manual, that can only be coupled to a virtual LAN or vswitch, the later of which requires a physical OSA-E. Have I understood this correctly, or is there some other way to do this?
