We have that question from our network people, because we will need
to connect to a separate physical LAN for one customer, and we want the 
migration
as seamless as possible.
So we will have duplicates of connections, of which both are redundant as well.
This will obviously expose us for the risk of network routing loops, and this is
prohibited with 'spanning tree' functionality, normally supported by switches 
or routers.

Any know if a z/VM vswitch support this or if it is perhaps not needed ?

Anyone having experinces of this ?

We run z/VM 6.1 and SLES11.1 and RHEL6

Nominally, that response means that the LUN number of one of the LUNs
returned on REPORT LUNS is larger than the value supported by the adapter,
which zfcp_scsi_adapter_register() sets to 0xFFFFFFFF.  Those are
(supposed to be) unsigned ints, so the implication is, as you suggested,
that something changed this value via sysfs, assuming it is exported.

1466                 if (lun > sdev->host->max_lun) {

1468                               " than allowed by the host adapter\n",
1469                               devname, lun);
