Hi Larry,
The OSA is defined on the first level VM as attached to the 2nd level VM guest. The OSA address is not defined or in use on the first level VM. The second level VM is 5.4 but I just found out that it does not have the latest PTF's loaded on. So we are doing that as we speak :-) How are you doing Russell Gendreau Time Customer Service, Inc. 813-554-2064 ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Davis, Larry Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 12:17 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: vswitch for layer 2 network on a second level VM guest Is this through the same OSA port and what level of VM are you running? ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of russell.gendr...@custserv.com Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 10:56 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: vswitch for layer 2 network on a second level VM guest Greetings, Intro We are trying to setup a vswitch for a layer 2 network on a second level VM while sharing the OSA With the level 1 VM. We want to setup the second level VM OSA as a trunk on a layer 2 network for LINUX guests. This is only for testing as we will eventually be setting up multiple OSA's in a trunk on a 1st level VM system on a layer 2 network hosting multiple LINUX guest. This is our goal at any rate. Sorry about the intro to what we are trying to accomplish. Problem. The level 2 VM hangs and the CPU goes to 100% on the level 1 VM and we have to force the 2nd level VM. The command we are trying to use is the following. "define vswitch vswf500 rdev f500 controller dtcvsw2 eth vlan 1 portt trunk" Thank you Russell Gendreau Time Customer Service, Inc. 813-554-2064
