Speaking of VSWITCHES
Somebody rebooted the switch that our OSA cards are plugged into. Our VSWITCH tried to recover by failing over from VSWITCH1 to VSWITCH2. Unfortunately, both of them terminate at the same physical switch and now we can't get either one to activate. Output of Q VSWITCH looks like this: q vswitch VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWITCH1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 12 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTEDNONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-01 State: Initialization in progress IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Isolation Status: OFF RDEV: 0800.P00Controller: NONE Error: Detached RDEV: 0810.P00Controller: NONE Error: Path severed RDEV: 0860.P00Controller: NONE Error: Path severed VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWITCH2 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 0Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTEDNONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-02 State: Initialization in progress IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Isolation Status: OFF RDEV: 0803.P00Controller: NONE Error: Detached RDEV: 0813.P00Controller: NONE Error: Path severed RDEV: 0863.P00Controller: NONE Error: Path severed I've tried attaching the RDEV's to DTCSW1 and DTCSW2, and autologged both of these as well.

I wouldn't think would have to reset the OSA, but if the disconnect and connect do not work I would try varying off/on the CHPID.

Re: Speaking of VSWITCHES
Right - from all LPARs that have it. That will cause the microcode on it to be reloaded and is your last big stick. If that doesn't work, you beat on the switch people until they tell you what change they put in that they must now back off :) And then have them provide some switch redundancy!
