I found the answer to my problem in the OSA redbook.

Dynamically added addresses can not be used for READ or WRITE devices, but
they can be used for DATAPATH devices.

Just sharing the answer.

I have a WORKING OSA EXPRESS.
I have been using it for 5 linux tcpip stacks (port sharing)
This has worked fine.

I originally had only 16 addresses gen'd in my HCD and added 48 more via
DYNAMIC ACTIVATION.

The new addresses show up as available to zVM....but when I try to use the
new address in newly
cloned Linux stacks... I get the errors below.

I've tried IPLing VM and also I configured the CHPID offline/online to the
zVM Lpar...but no luck.

Any ideas?


(The 411-413 real addresses were added via HCD dynamic activate)

OSA  0411 ATTACHED TO LINUXT5  0F04
OSA  0412 ATTACHED TO LINUXT5  0F05
OSA  0413 ATTACHED TO LINUXT5  0F06

(Here are linux qeth errors)
