Well I am running out of things to try. I put the DEFINE NIC and COUPLE commands in the autoexec for the zOS guest.. but that made no diff. The comment above "If the CHPID was assigned properly" makes me wonder... do I have to do any DEFINE for CHPID/PATH/DEVICE on zVM before I DEFINE NIC AND COUPLE. I did the "q chpid 03" command per the redbook, and figured that my CHPID 03 was OK. Are there other VM commands that I missed concerning DEF CHPID ???? q chpid 03 No devices on path 03 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 16:18:32 Original email: I followed examples in the HiperSockets/Guest Lan Redbook and can't seem to get my Z/OS 1.4 VNIC to come active. I have an open ticket with IBM, but thought someone might have some ideas. I am getting this error when I start the device: EZZ4308I ERROR: CODE=80100067 DURING ACTIVATION OF DEVICE IUTIQD03.
