Re: removing static routes
Make a small file in which you store the GATEWAY section you want to activate, such as GATEMIN TCPIP A and GATEMAX TCPIP Issue OBEYFILE GATEMIN from use userid that is in the OBEY list of VM's TCPIP (TCPMAINT is there by default) Note: TCPIP will LINK to the minidisk with the small file, if you've got an ESM you need to authorize TCPIP, without, you need to code the READ password as an option on the BEYFILE command. At the other hand, I don't think that anything you code in a GATEWAY section can cause a NIC not coming up. It can cause problems that you cannot talk between IP stacks. 2010/9/2 Phillip Gramly phil...@cdg.ws we have a vswitch set up on VM 4.4 I have a VSE that uses VM as a gateway - it's IP address is specified in the GATEWAY section of my PROFILE TCPIP I have IPLed this VSE on 3.1 with TCPIP support for the vswitch, but the NIC doesn't come up. IPL605E error RC 122 I think it is because VM's TCPIP still has it specified. Is there some command to delete it dynamically? I don't want to restart VM's TCPIP. This is a test system, so I want to be able to take it out of the GATEWAY settings and then put it back in when I have to give it back to the test group.

Moving on (please don't panic)
Effective September 16th, after nearly 28 years in VM Development, I am moving to a new role as a member of IBM Lab Services and Training. There I will be part of the team that helps you, our clients, successfully bring Linux to System z, both from a traditional consolidation perspective, as well as exploitation of System z and z/VM's emerging technologies. I don't make the move lightly or easily, but it serves both my own goals and IBM's. I will continue to reside in Endicott with my friends in Development, I will still annoy them with questions, and I will continue to exert my influence over product plans. By being in Lab Services, however, those questions and that influence will hopefully be the result of deeper, more direct experience with you. While I'm here, let me pause to again publicly thank my colleagues for their many years of support. They always have taken the time to educate me (over and over sometimes!) so that I can pass that knowledge on to you. I will continue to hang out here and I will still see you at conferences. What *will* change? Well, I'll be on the road more, so you'll get fewer near-real-time answers from me on the listservers. (sigh) Oh, and I'll be making more recommendations that you get a Services contract with Yours Truly and the Chuckster to help you. (Hmmm do I get to charge twice?) :-D See you in the funny papers.

I will continue to reside in Endicott with my friends in Development, I will still annoy them with questions, and I will continue to exert my influence over product plans. By being in Lab Services, however, those questions and that influence will hopefully be the result of deeper, more direct experience with you. While I'm here, let me pause to again publicly thank my colleagues for their many years of support. They always have taken the time to educate me (over and over sometimes!) so that I can pass that knowledge on to you. I will continue to hang out here and I will still see you at conferences. What *will* change? Well, I'll be on the road more, so you'll get fewer near-real-time answers from me on the listservers. (sigh) Oh, and I'll be making more recommendations that you get a Services contract with Yours Truly and the Chuckster to help you. (Hmmm do I get to charge twice?) :-D See you in the funny papers.

There I will be part of the team that helps you, our clients, successfully bring Linux to System z, both from a traditional consolidation perspective, as well as exploitation of System z and z/VM's emerging technologies. I don't make the move lightly or easily, but it serves both my own goals and IBM's.
