Paul, Marcy, et al: I just came from a z196 pre-install planning meeting (by phone) in which it was said that the OSA on the z/196 will be using PORT 1.
We are currently using PORT 0 on our Z9. Does this mean our VSWITCH definition (below) in SYSTEM CONFIG which defaults to PORT 0 will not work on the z196 unless we code PORT 1? define vswitch lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 George Henke/NYLIC 02/01/2011 03:40 PM To The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> cc Subject Re: z196 lb4ul ty all very much.

The port number really only comes into play if you have an OSA Express3 card and are connecting to the second port or what is called the A1 port on the card layout.

We do not specify PORT number in our VSWITCH definition below (from SYSTEM CONFIG): define vswitch lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 Sorry to ask: But does this mean we do not use an OSA.? Or does it mean we use a default? I think it may mean the former.

Port number is not the same as port name. Two different parameters entirely. Mark Post
