This is under SLES9 SP1. I lost my IUCV0 connection (for a while, or maybe longer).
So, for a temporary solution, for now, I wanted to dynamically add in a vswtich connection. I have an existing vswitch setup and made the necessary modifications in the VM arena for a connection: MODIFY VSWITCH VSW1 GRANT LINUX27 NICDEF 600 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSW1 When I logon on the Linux guest, I get: NIC 0600 is created; devices 0600-0602 defined Like I'm suppose to. And the q v nic shows that I'm ready to be connected: CP Q V NIC Adapter 0600 Type: QDIO Name: UNASSIGNED Devices: 3 Port 0 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-06 VSWITCH: SYSTEM VSW1 So I load the driver: modprobe qeth and do some other useless things <G> Anyway, when I do: ifconfig eth0 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found cat /etc/modprobe.conf.local alias eth0 qeth So, device not found.... I take it that the qeth device driver didn't dynamically find my nic. If so, how do I manually add it?
