We have OSA/SF set up, but another 'faction' of the s/390 group controls
that. Therein lies the problem. I'd rather not string another cable but I
will if I have to. Currently they plan to gen the LPAR with access to the
OTHER ENTR card rather than port share.

The port can be shared, but OSA/SF is the way that the sharing is set up on
the card and in the I/O subsystem. Linux will just see an LCS device.
Do you have OSA/SF set up or are you using the defaults?
