Well both machines have their own device addresses, and unique IP for their
hipersocket address. Are we doing that wrong?
I mean we have 3 z/os Images on the z900, and VM and all my penguins. For
illustration sake (not the real devices cuz I don't wanna look that up)

z/os 1 has devices 1001,1002,1003 and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.1
z/os 2 has devices 1004,1005,1006 and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.2
z/os 3 has devices 1007,1008,1009 and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.3
VM itsel has devs 100A,100B,100C and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.10
Penguins have all their devices mapped to 8000,8001,8002 but in actuality
are:

(my penguins are named after minnesota lakes in case you all were
wondering)

calhoun 100D,100E,100F and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.12
nokomis 1010,1011,1012 and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.13
pepin   1013,1014,1015 and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.14
phalen  1016,1017,1018 and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.15
pequot  1019,101a,101b and hipersocket IP of 192.168.252.16

If that's not the right wayt to set things up, then perhaps that is part of
the problem.

it may very well be doing that, but again, I had the hsi devices ahead of
the eth0 devices in the chandev.conf file during installation.
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to federatre another pair of penguins
into a multi-cell node at the moment, and our WebSphere guy isn't wanting
to experiment on the production system we just built....

Both the HSI interfaces and the Ethernet interfaces are on their own
subnets. All the GB ethernet devices are on a xxx.xx.100.x subnet. All the
hipersocket devices are on a 192.168.252.x subnet. So the only path
difference to IP is one is memory and one is the backplane of the OSA card.

That didn't even occurr to me during the process of resolving this, and
again, I'm not in a position to go off and federate a second node into
another websphere cell.
