Ahhh now comes my problem. Oracle itself creates ETH0:1 (ie: it's not defined in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts file where ETH0 and ETH1 are defined )
So .. it maybe better to create an Oracle only subnet and Oracle only Vswitch then support 1/2 of the subnet on each system ... Seems link these systems need to be in the same subnet ... -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Szefler Jakub Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 8:58 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Vswitch and subnets I suggest using the same Network for Oracle VIP on both sides.

This environment has two z9 systems running z/VM 5.3 with Vswitch on each and a linux (rhel 44). On each z/VM the Vswitch is setup to support a specific subnet. Vswitch on System A side supports 192.168.127.* Vswitch on System B side supports 192.168.87.* Oracle on linux on system A has Home address 192.168.127.1 ETH0 Oracle VIP 192.168.127.2 ETH0:1 Oracle Priv 192.168.127.3 ETH1 Oracle on linux on system B has Home address 192.168.87.1 ETH0 Oracle VIP 192.168.87.2 ETH0:1 Oracle Priv 192.168.87.3 ETH1 * The problem; If something happens on the system A side and access is lost (at any level) Oracle on the system B side brings up via ETH0:2 the VIP address of the lost system. So now system B linux looks like this; Home address 192.168.87.1 ETH0 Oracle VIP 192.168.87.2 ETH0:1 Oracle VIP 192.168.127.2 ETH0:2 Oracle Priv 192.168.87.3 ETH1 A Q VSWITCH DET shows the 192.168.127.2 address known in the Vswitch, but it can not be routed to. Is there anything that can be done in he Vswitch to help advertise just this address only, since all the other 192.168.127.* addresses are still on the other system...
