A vmcp q v osa would work. Also, are you the one who logs on the quest. That is do you have the authority to shutdown zlinux and logoff the guest. Then logon the guest and ipl the Linux guest?
If so, what kind of messages are you getting when you first logon to the Linux guest and before you ipl the Linux image? Just looking to see if you have full access to the devices you need. Also, are you using vswitches or dedicated OSAs? If vswitch, layer2 or layer3.
