Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
Just a coda on this problem and a special thank you to both Alan and Sue Farrell who hit the bull's eye. Portname in the define VSWITCH was indeed the problem as Sue explains: If you have defined your VSWITCH exactly like you first mentioned: define vswitch lnxvsw1 portname lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 then your problem is the PORTNAME. rdef 9004 is being treated as additional portnames. Like Alan said, leave it off. See the syntax note for DEFINE VSWITCH: Notes: (1) You can specify the operands in any order, as long as switchname is the first operand specified, and portname is the last operand specified, if applicable. Once the portname was eliminated,, the VSWITCH defniition in SYSTEM CONFIG was honored and VSWITCH came up connected after the IPL without any further action required. Also, since it is in season to express thanks, a special thanks to all the listers for help not only on this problem, but all the problems I encountered upgrading z/VM 5.4. We are now z196 compliant at RSU 1002 Level 1 with a Level 2 maintenance environment that did not exist before. None of which would have been possible without the help of you all. So thank you very much one and all.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
If using ADDRESS COMMAND makes a difference, the most common cause is that you've got a CP EXEC somewhere on a minidisk accessed by AUTOLOG1. SYNONYMs and SET IMPCP can influence command execution too with ADDRESS CMS (or PIPE CMS), but occur less often.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
Tom: I think you may have found the problem. You use ADDRESS COMMAND CP SET VSWITCH. I do not reset the REXX CMS ENVIRONMENT to the COMMAND ENVIRONMENT with ADDRESS COMMAND. Normally that is not a problem for CP commands, but in this case SET is also a CMS command and without the ADDRESS COMMAND prefix it may be getting processed as a CMS SET command, instead of a CP SET VSWITCH command and so the GRANTS may never really be getting issued even though they appear to be, they get Command Completed. From AUTOLOG1 Console, last IPL: 68 *-* 'CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX1' CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX1 Command complete 69 *-* 'CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX2' CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX2 Command complete 70 *-* 'CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX3' CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX3 Command complete 71 *-* 'CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX4' CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX4 Command complete 72 *-* 'CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX5' CP SET VSWITCH LNXVSW1 GRANT VLINUX5 Command complete Without the ADDRESS COMMAND prefix could it be that the GRANTS are being ignored even though they have the CP prefix.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
CMS knows that if a SET or QUERY command is not for itself, it passes it to CP for execution. This is also why you can stack the output from CP commands in CMS (i.e. QUERY TIME (STACK, but not CP QUERY TIME (STACK) , because CMS is passing the command to CP for you and stacking the result. In any case, best practice is to start your exec with Address Command and proceed any CP commands with CP, invoke execs using EXEC, and make sure commands are in upper case.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
So I guess what you telling me, Tom, is that . . . Though the XAUTOLOG's have no CMS synonyms and work in my AUTOLOG1 EXEC without the ADDRESS COMMAND or even the CP prefix, it is not good form. But the CP SET VSWITCH, being synonymous with the CMS SET command, does not get recognized as a CP command even though it has the CP prefix. The CP prefix is not enough. It needs the ADDRESS COMMAND mode set in addition to the CP prefix.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
No - from what you showed - the 'COMMAND COMPLETE' indicates that CP SET VSWITCH was actually issued. There is no CMS SET VSWITCH -- it would have failed with 'invalid operand' or something. It 'is' good practice to use Address Command -- but that's a red herring here, I think.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
You're right, Scott. Looks like Alan and Sue Farrell have found the problem. Portname is the culprit, like they both said from the start. In our SYSTEM CONFIG VSWITCH is defined as: define vswitch lnxvsw1 portname lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 But I just remembered that . . . Last weekend we IPLed and the LINUXes did not connect right away as usual. So, I destroyed the VSWITCH, cut and pasted the SYSTEM CONFIG definition as shown above, and they still did not connect. Then someone else entered: define vswitch lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 And everything connected. That's gotta be it.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
The VSWITCH will not be defined if TCP/IP has not initialized. But the GRANTS should have no bearing on whether the VSWTICH gets defined or not.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
George, From the info you've given it sounds like the VSWITCH is being created but the GRANT command within the AUTOLOG1 exec is failing. Check your LINUX log to see if there is an error on the NIC while trying to initialize. If so you might want to check to make sure that AUTOLOG1 has the required privclass (B) to issue the SET VSWITCH command.

Re: No IPL VSWITCH Connectivity
If you have defined your VSWITCH exactly like you first mentioned: define vswitch lnxvsw1 portname lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 then your problem is the PORTNAME. rdef 9004 is being treated as additional portnames. Like Alan said, leave it off. See the syntax note for DEFINE VSWITCH: Notes: (1) You can specify the operands in any order, as long as switchname is the first operand specified, and portname is the last operand specified, if applicable.
