I would say that the physical switches and OSAs need to be connected, and using 
the same range of VLANs.  As long as your physical switch supports vlans, and 
the connection from the physical switch to the OSA is the trunk type, you can 
support multiple subnets.

Thanks for the quick replies.

"The easy one is to make the OSAs part of a VSWITCH configuration, and
give VM and the Linux guests each a single address in the VSWITCH,
and let VSWITCH handle the failover for you."

Ideally this is what I want to do. I think I recall (will check doc) that
for this to work the OSAs and IP addresses have to be in the same subnet?
Correct?
That's not the case at the moment.

Thanks for the quick replies.
