G'day all, I'm stumped. I just applied SP1 to a working SLES9 system, and after the IPL my Guest LAN connection now appears to be non-functional. I've checked all the obvious things but so far I'm none the wiser. Connectivity to another system on the same Guest LAN is fine.
I cannot ping VM TCPIP from Linux, or Linux from VM (VM TCPIP is my router). Obviously there's no SSH or other traffic flow either. I hit the archives because the problem sounded familiar to me, but I only see problems with the dodgy SLES8 update from a couple of months back. I've tried turning on fake_ll, which didn't change anything. I've tried applying the most recent SLES9 kernel update (beyond what SP1 brought in), which also didn't change anything. I don't want to have to go back to the pre-SP1 kernel, because the updated kernel was the reason I put on SP1 :-( Other things I've checked include firewall rules (there are none), MTU size (matches, and won't affect small pings anyway), routing in z/VM TCP/IP. This z/VM system doesn't get much service attention (Q VMLAN says VM63261) -- could it be some maintenance I need? Any ideas? (Hopefully) Relevant displays below. Cheers, Vic -- 11:20pm here now so responses in the morning; hope you all have a better today than I had! :) -------- CP Q NIC DET Adapter 0F00 Type: QDIO Name: LXGLAN Devices: 3 Port 0 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-04 LAN: SYSTEM LXGLAN MFS: 8192 RX Packets: 83370 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 36146 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 64694381 TX Bytes: 2427470 Connection Name: HALLOLE State: Session Established Device: 0F00 Unit: 000 Role: CTL-READ Device: 0F01 Unit: 001 Role: CTL-WRITE Device: 0F02 Unit: 002 Role: DATA VLAN: ANY Assigned by user Unicast IP Addresses: 172.18.8.31 Mask: 255.255.255.0 FE80::200:0:500:4/64 Multicast IP Addresses: 224.0.0.1 MAC: 01-00-5E-00-00-01 224.0.0.251 MAC: 01-00-5E-00-00-FB 239.255.255.253 MAC: 01-00-5E-7F-FF-FD FF02::1 MAC: 33-33-00-00-00-01 FF02::1:FF00:4 MAC: 33-33-FF-00-00-04 ip route 172.18.8.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 172.18.8.31 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 172.18.8.254 dev eth2 ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether 02:00:64:4d:00:80 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether 02:00:64:8d:00:80 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 02:00:00:00:00:04 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.18.8.31/24 brd 172.18.8.255 scope global eth2 inet6 fe80::200:0:500:4/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever uname -a Linux blxs901 2.6.5-7.151-s390 #1 SMP Fri Mar 18 11:31:21 UTC 2005 s390 s390 s39 0 GNU/Linux ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
