No, you aren't missing anything. I was mistaken about the two OSA's in the same vswitch. I have two osas and two vswitches, and the two osas are on different networks, hence the need for ospfd and such.
My original goal was to use the single vswitch with a failover osa, but as I pursued this problem I discovered from the network group that it wasn't configured the way I had originally thought.

But I have a question for you: if you are using two OSA cards in the same vswitch, they are on the same network. Do the osa cards plug into the same physical switch or bridged switches? Unless you are planning a second vswitch on a different network, I'm not sure what the vipa is gaining. Of course I could be missing something - David -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port on behalf of Moeur Tim C Sent: Thu 3/8/2007 4:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Help with Virtual IP's. To anyone in the midst of composing a reply, thank you, but I've figured out the solution. To those following this thread the solution lies in a command: qethconf vipa add vipaaddress device I ran the command and now my vipa address is pingable every where. Tim I'm setting up VIPA's, zebra, quagga, and ospfd under my Redhat AS 4 zLinux running under VM 5.2 It nearly works, but not quite and I'm hoping to get some insight from this list group. I have an environment with two OSA's into a single Vswitch. On the zlinux machine I have two devices: eth0 10.1.100.17 Dummy0 10.0.17.10 Both devices start and can be pinged from within the zlinux machine. Pings from the zlinux machine to anything on my network all work. -- But -- 10.1.100.17 is pingable from outside the zlinux machine but on my network (i.e, my desktop) 10.0.17.10 is not pingable from outside the zlinux machine. -- Except -- 10.0.17.10 is pingable from a sister zLinux machine (a guest of the same VM). Both use the same vswitch. I've talked to my network guys and they report that the ospfd daemon is working properly. They see it as a neighbor router and more so they see a learned route table entry of: 10.0.17.0/24 10.1.100.17 It appears that my pings for 10.0.17.10 are indeed being properly routed to the real address of 10.1.100.17, but after that I can't tell what becomes of them.
