OSA1 is what is defined in the VTAM TRLE and caps does not make a difference.

I am using SUSE distribution as it is the only one that I found that includes the OCO modules. I get the error that follows when setting up my network definition. I have on ocasion be able to get this to work, but 99% of the time it fails. Anybody have any ideas that might help me. Enter the device addresses for the qeth module, e.g. '0xf800,0xf801,0xf802' or auto for autoprobing (auto): Starting with microcode level 0146, OSA-Express QDIO require a portname to be set in the device driver. It identifies the port for sharing with other. OS images, for example the PORTNAME dataset used by OS/390. Do you have OSA Express microcode level 0146 or higher? y Note: If you share the card, you must use same portname on all guest/lpars using the card.
