I'm trying to build a new server under VM and can't seem to get the virtual NIC to talk to the vswitch to come online. The error seems to indicate a mismatch between layer2 and layer3 but I can't see it. Any help would be appreciated. I've cross posted to the zVM listserve
When I log into the server I see: NIC 0800 is created; devices 0800-0802 defined z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, Service Level 0903 (64-bit), built on IBM Virtualization Technology There is no logmsg data Displaying the vswitch it sure looks like layer 2 to me: q vswitch vsw2 VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW2 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 4 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED ETHERNET Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-03 State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Isolation Status: OFF RDEV: 0C64.P00 VDEV: 0C64 Controller: DTCVSW1 RDEV: 0C74.P00 VDEV: 0C74 Controller: DTCVSW2 BACKUP The conf file I'm using: HOSTNAME=ODBD1.CIT.NIH.GOV DASD=200-205 NETTYPE=qeth IPADDR=128.231.xxx.xx SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0800,0.0.0801,0.0.0802 NETMASK=255.255.254.0 BROADCAST=128.231.xxx.xxx NETWORK=128.231.xxx.0 PORTNAME=UNASSIGNED LAYER2=0 DNS=156.40.xx.xx SEARCHDNS=NIH.GOV GATEWAY=128.231.xxx.x When I issue ODBD1 I eventually get: qeth: loading qeth S/390 OSA-Express driver qeth: received an IDX TERMINATE with cause code 0xf6 qeth: sense data available on channel 0.0.0800. qeth: cstat 0x0 dstat 0xE qeth: irb: 00 c2 60 17 00 f7 60 38 0e 00 10 00 00 80 00 00 qeth: irb: 01 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 qeth: sense data: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 qeth: sense data: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 qeth: Initialization in hardsetup failed! rc=-5 SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device ping: sendto: Network is unreachable Bobby Bauer Center for Information Technology National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD 20892-5628 301-594-7474 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
