Scott,
Here the information from my z/Linux ADMIN. Note that the IP's are masked as we cannot send or publicize them Security reasons. Let me know what you think.

I think you'll find them under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ (?) You're showing us the config for what works - but not the config for what doesn't...

Hi I have a dilemma that I hope you can help with: I have cloned a z/VM LPAR and a z/Linux guest from my Production system. I have a VSWITCH set up and a matching NIC def in the Directory for the z/Linux guest. I can display the OSA and see that it is attached to the VSWITCH and I can see that the NIC was configured correctly when the z/Linux guest is logged on. The z/Linux guest is RHEL 5.2. The problem is when the guest initializes we see this message: Bringing up interface eth1: qeth device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. When I display the VSWITCH Q VSWITCH DET I expected to see the IP address associated with the network interface show up in the VSWITCH which tells me the we can get to the z/Linux guest but I don't see the IP. Now if we bring the z/Linux guest up in RESCUE mode where it is reading the CONF file where I specifically enter the IP address I can display the VSWITCH and see the IP address associated with the VSWITCH as I expected and we can PING the z/Linux guest and login to it. So what am I doing wrong here? Why on a normal boot can't I see the IP in the VSWITCH and hence login into the z/Linux guest or PING it but when I load it using the CONF file in RESCUE mode I can login to the guest and PING it what am I missing?: CONF FILE: /* configuration information for RESCUE MODE */ HOSTNAME="E49L054P.CMS.HHS.GOV" DASD="700,800-831" NETTYPE="qeth" SUBCHANNELS="0.0.7403,0.0.7404,0.0.7405" PORTNAME=" " IPADDR="10.16.49.13" NETWORK="10.16.0.0" NETMASK="255.255.0.0" BROADCAST="10.16.255.255" GATEWAY="10.16.0.254" SEARCHDNS="cms.hhs.gov" LAYER2=0 DNS="10.15.0.117" MTU="1500" VSWITCH WHEN GUEST is BROUGHT UP NORMALLY(No 10.16.49.13 IP): q vswitch vse4ps11 det VSWITCH SYSTEM VSE4PS11 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-03 State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 RDEV: 8903 VDEV: 8903 Controller: DTCVSW2 VSWITCH Connection: MAC address: 00-14-5E-B7-D4-94 RX Packets: 380 Discarded: 110318 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 357 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 31684 TX Bytes: 99369 Device: 8903 Unit: 000 Role: DATA Port: 0001 Index: 0001 Adapter Connections: Adapter Owner: E49L054P NIC: 7403 Name: UNASSIGNED RX Packets: 986 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 0 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 89162 TX Bytes: 0 Device: 7405 Unit: 002 Role: DATA Port: 0073 Index: 0010 Options: Broadcast Multicast IPv6 IPv4 VLAN VSWITCH DISPLAY AFTER GUEST UP IN RESCUE MODE : q vswitch vse4ps11 det VSWITCH SYSTEM VSE4PS11 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-03 State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 RDEV: 8903 VDEV: 8903 Controller: DTCVSW2 VSWITCH Connection: MAC address: 00-14-5E-B7-D4-94 RX Packets: 380 Discarded: 110392 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 364 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 31684 TX Bytes: 99921 Device: 8903 Unit: 000 Role: DATA Port: 0001 Index: 0001 Adapter Connections: Adapter Owner: E49L054P NIC: 7403 Name: UNASSIGNED RX Packets: 491 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 7 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 43429 TX Bytes: 552 Device: 7405 Unit: 002 Role: DATA Port: 0074 Index: 0011 Options: Broadcast Multicast IPv6 IPv4 VLAN Unicast IP Addresses: 10.16.49.13 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-04 FE80::200:0:100:4 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-04 Local Multicast IP Addresses: 224.0.0.1 MAC: 01-00-5E-00-00-01 FF02::1 MAC: 33-33-00-00-00-01 Local FF02::1:FF00:4 MAC: 33-33-FF-00-00-04 Local q vswitch vse4ps11 det VSWI TCH SYSTEM VSE4PS11 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 1 Maxco Thank You, Terry Martin Lockheed Martin - Citic z/OS and z/VM Performance Tuning and Operating Systems Support Office - 443 348-2102 Cell - 443 632-4191
