Make sure you have support for VSWITCH in your version of VSE. I believe that there were device driver updates last year. In layer 3 or layer 2 mode, the VSWITCH fails over to another OSA when: - Communication with the switch port is lost (switch is powered off / recycled, port deactivated, cable pull, ...) - The OSA fails to to respond to CP in a timely fashion (stalls) - An unrecoverable I/O error occurs with the OSA Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
