If you need it just for you 2nd level, you should be able to DEFINE VSWITCH and insert the NICDEF for as many adapters as you need into the directory for the 2nd level VM. (You didn't mention what level of VM you have at first level.) Frank M.

________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System on behalf of James M Sent: Thu 11/12/2009 1:40 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: OSA and VSWITCH questions I'm also experimenting with vswitch's on a test 2nd level 5.4 system. I've immediately run into the problem of my osa not being qdio capable. q osa all showing type ose. Is there a way to fool a second level system..i.e defining a virtual qdio osa device? I suspect not so my next question revolves around redefining the io definition of the osa chpid. How disruptive is that? Can I dynamically change from non-qdio to qdio? Do I have to redo the oat table? Or does the OAT go away with qdio? I'm having trouble finding the OSA documentation on the IBM web site so that would also be helpful if you could send a link. If I had that I could probably answer my own questions but any input is very appreciated.
