Hi Billy....
I'm no expert at this, but you've defined your device as a LCS device, not a
QDIO. A VSwitch has to be QDIO, so you need to change your device (and link)
statements accordingly. For instance, I have
DEVICE OSAQDIO OSD 0440 PORTNAME OSA1 PRIROUTER AUTORESTART
LINK ETH0 QDIOETHERNET OSAQDIO1
ane the linkname in the home statement points to ETH0
device 440 is a 'port' into the VSwitch. In your case, your TCPIP is in a 2nd
level system, but it still has to be in QDIO mode.
If your level of TCP/IP does not support QDIO, you will find out as soon as it
tries to process the DEVICE staatement.

Well I'm guessing it can't. I have the following in my TCPIP PROFILE:
DEVICE OSA1 LCS 600
;
LINK OSA1LNK ETHERNET 0 OSA1
;
ARPAGE 5
;
HOME
10.1.1.93 OSA1LNK
;
GATEWAY 10.1.1.1 = OSA1LNK 1500 HOST
DEFAULTNET = OSA1LNK 1500 0
;
TRANSLATE
;
START OSA1
And I get the following in the TCPIP console log:
DTCPRI385I Device OSA1:
DTCPRI386I Type: LCS, Status: Not started
DTCPRI387I Envelope queue size: 0
DTCPRI388I Address: 0600
I change it to this:
DEVICE OSA1 OSD 600
;
LINK OSA1LNK QDIOETHERNET 0 OSA1
;
ARPAGE 5
;
HOME
10.1.1.93 OSA1LNK
;
GATEWAY
10.1.1.1 = OSA1LNK 1500 HOST
DEFAULTNET = OSA1LNK 1500 0
;
TRANSLATE
;
START OSA1
And I get the following:
DTCPRS007E Error encountered in reading PROFILE TCPIP *:
DTCPAR123I Line 237: Invalid type field
DTCPAR123I Line 239: LINK statement: Invalid type field
DTCPAR123I Line 244: Unknown link name in HOME cmd
DTCPAR123I Line 247: Unknown link name in GATEWAY cmd
DTCPAR123I Line 252: Device not found
Line 237 corresponds to my DEVICE statement and line 239 is the LINK
statement. 600 - 602 is attached to my TCPIP on the VM/ESA 2.40 guest and I
have NICDEF and GRANT for the VMEASA240 guest in z/VM
Unless anyone can point out something obivious I'm going to chalk this up to
experience.
Thanks,
Billy
