here is our Sys Config for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 on the same z/VM system

Obviously different real addresses, but on the same OSA port. I've read the OSA-Express Customer?s Guide and Reference and I'm confused. From the system config DEFINE VSWITCH VSWTCH1 RDEV 0604 CONTR * ETH Define VSWITCH VSWTCH3 RDEV 0608 CONTR * IP I am getting random errors on this OSA in z/OS and z/VM. What is interesting here is that z/OS detects errors, or at least reports them, before z/VM. z/VM doesn't have an issue until the CU is reset. Also, z/OS recovers nicely. z/VM, not so much. I have to issue an SET VSWITCH vswtchname CONNECT to get it working again.
