I think we have a connection to the VSWITCH. We had to grant our Linux user novstart access to the vswitch from maint. There were command in the start of novstart that we uncommented. We had to define the nic with type qdio and couple the nic to the vswitch. I did a display on the vswitch and it looks like we are connected. Below is the display. We are getting closer, but I cant't can't ping from tcpmaint to 172.19.110.180 (novstart). We do have networking looking at this, but it looks like the vswitch may not be defined correctly.
