Hello, We are currently attempting to bring up SuSE on our system for evaluation, and we're having some problems. We have two OSA/SF Gigabit cards available that are in test at this time. We have started testing with them thru OS/390 V2R9. We have them communicating with Communications Server V2R8 without problem.
1) When we first brought up Suse from our HCD we found we could not connect to the OSA facility. We had to take one of the OSA channels offline to the two test MVS systems before we could get the Suse to connect to it at all. Are there issues with the sharing of the OSA/SF QDIO managed resources between OS/390 and SuSE? 2) We have all of our current Gigabit network on 10.0.0.0 subnet. We can ping the 10.77.10.2 default gateway, and the assigned host address, but nothing else. I set the subnet mask to 255.255.254.0, and the BROADCAST to 10.77.10.255. Your guidance would be greatly appricated. Thanks for your advice. Gerald Benton
