First check that the linux guest is in the access list for the new vswitc h (see Q VSWITCH ACCESSLIST) and add it if not (see SET VSWITCH GRANT). Then use the CP COUPLE command for the linux guest to connect it to the vswitch. FWIW, it's too late now, but you could have just added the new address to the vswitch instead of destroying and recreating the vswitch. I've done that when migrating from one OSA port to another. See the RDEV parameter on the SET VSWITCH command. Brian Nielsen
