Hi Daniel,
It appears your vswitch controllers are not logged on or perhaps not defined. q vswitch VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWITCH1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 7 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-01 State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 RDEV: 1300 VDEV: 1300 Controller: DTCVSW2 RDEV: 1400 VDEV: 1400 Controller: DTCVSW1 BACKUP Peter -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Daniel Tate Sent: June 30, 2010 15:30 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Cannot reach the outside world Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge here. We're working through several issues at my workplace. The current problem is while the guests can speak to one another via tcp, and the route entry is present, the router will not respond to pings, and i cannot contact the "outside world". Is there a specific user that has to be logged in to route out? is there something wrong with the vswitch definitions below? also, is there a "quick and dirty" guide to z/VM? I'm from the distributed world, and would like a quick reference.. unfortunately answers arent as easy to find on the internet about z/VM as they are about windows or linux or any of the myriad other unixes i've worked on; sort of a short and to the point book like the "exam cram" type or perhaps "An idiots guide to z/VM". 00: CP Q VSWITCH 00: VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 3 Maxconn: INFINITE 00: PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF 00: VLAN Unaware 00: MAC address: 02-00-01-00-00-01 00: State: Defined 00: IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 00: RDEV: 03A0.P00 Controller: NONE 00: RDEV: 03C0.P00 Controller: NONE The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
