Well don't have an answer for you but have seen an other weird linux osa situation. Client presents me with a linux image with two osa cards at eth0 and eth1. eth0 172.27.194.153 eth1 172.27.94.153 eth1:1 172.27.88.51 eth1:2 172.27.88.52 eth1:3 172.27.8853
Eth1:3 are according to client VIPA's.
Problem described as if they take down ANY in ANY order of eth1, eth1:1 - :3 that eth0 goes down, too. Hmm. I see the problem at the workstation. Poke around for a bit and notice that eth1 is not aliased in modules.conf. Add an alias to modules.conf for eth1 and the problem goes away. Cannot be recreated. ... so it' s fixed ... no ... we remove the update to modules.conf and cannot reproduce the problem! We've tried every permutation and cannot get the problem to re-occur.
I wonder if the chandev layer or the osa module(s) in linux have some issues dealing with 2 or more osa cards.

Hi folks,
I've been running into a problem every so often that I can't track down and thought I'd just throw it out here to see if I get any bites.
I have 2 Gbit OSAs that I share among my guests and use VIPA to provide failover in case one goes down. So, every guest has an eth0, eth1, and an lo:1 interface. All access to the guests use the IP address assigned to lo:1.
The problem is that sometimes a guest is unreachable using the lo:1 IP addr. You can still access the guest through eth0 or eth1. I've found 2 ways to get out of the situation. The first, is to drop all the interfaces and bring them back up. The other is to use arping like so:
arping -U -c 1 -I eth0 -s 0x0a0e0321 255.255.255.255
I happen to have a guest in this state right now, and here's the current picture:

Fortunately, I can leave the guest like this as long as I want, so if you folks have things to try, I'd be real happy to hear about em.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Leland
