It's been a while since I played with this stuff, but one thing I know for 
sure: If the Linux guest has to be aware of which VLAN(s) it's supposed to be 
seeing, that is not supported by the installer.  You would need to manually 
intervene to set up the 802.1q parameters for it to work.

So, whether the VSWITCH itself is VLAN aware or not is irrelevant to the Linux 
guest.  As soon as the Linux guest itself needs to be VLAN aware, you're on 
your own.  (I've done it myself and it's not hard, but it _is_ outside of what 
the installer can handle automagicaly at the SLES11 SP4 level.)

Gaaack!  Please use

DEFINE VSWITCH VSW1  RDEV 400.P1  VLAN AWARE  NATIVE NONE

Have your switch admin verify that
o The port 400.P1 is plugged into is configured as a trunk
o The port is configured for IEEE 802.1q (aka "DOT1Q"), not ISL or other
vendor-proprietary trunking protocol
o The port has been added to VLAN 229

Check QUERY VSWITCH VSW1 DETAILS and look at the TX, RX, DISCARD counts.

Yes. We are using this VLAN for some z/OS interfaces, so it is not new.

The SLES11SP4 EXEC does not show any errors.

This is a Ruby error resulting from some data not being set correctly. @svm is 
nil, and thus is of NilClass and so does not have a [] method (hash key 
accessor). It is what amounts to an uninitialized variable error, in Ruby.

Without having seen the chef cookbook involved here... the value for @svm (an 
instance variable local to the ERB template being processed) is not being set. 
It'll likely be assigned a value in the template resource, in the specific 
recipe being run -- probably from a node attribute. The value of that attribute 
must be a hash (or mash), containing a key named "zvm_xcat_mgt_vswitch". The 
value of that key (a string) will be used as the rdev_list.


ok

You mean, "switch to a different **VSWITCH** that is not trunked..." [not 
VLAN-aware], right?  All VLANs are "trunked".  If you're not trunking, 
then VLAN IDs aren't flowing.

Please provide the syntax you use to define your VLAN-aware VSWITCH.  I 
suspect that either the port is not in trunk mode, or you have the syntax 
incorrect.

Is anything else on your vswitch working or is this a new set up?
We run trunked ports and use the vlan on the grant statement with SP4 so that 
isn't an issue.

What happens when you 'CP COUPLE nicaddress TO SYSTEM vswitchname'  from

You need to ensure you're connected to the VSWITCH -- does CP Q VSWITCH

Re: SuSE Cloud 6 + z/VM - Any adventurer?

[Berthold Gunreben]

Hi Tito,

I actually participated in a presentation today that demonstrated that
thing. Unfortunately, you will need some expert with openstack and
another expert with z/VM to setup all of this. Currently this cannot be
done with the graphical frontends. After you accomplish the setup,
things become easier though...

In other words, yes, it is possible, but you probably will need help
from SUSE to really do the setup (I am one of those who can do the
z/VM part; the openstack part is something for someone else).

It wasn't considered ready for enterprise use.

SuSE Cloud 6 + z/VM - Any adventurer?

[Tito Garrido]

Hi Folks,

I have been checking SuSE Cloud 6 capabilities in my "hybrid environment"
(zPDT + KVMx86) but I got stuck on Neutron + Nova config...

The neutron recipe runs fine, even though I can't see any connection tempt
from XCAT /var/log/message...

When I try to deply Nova I get the following message:










*root@d52-54-00-a1-98-8b:~ # cat /var/chef/cache/chef-stacktrace.out
Generated at 2016-04-20 11:09:12 -0300Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError:
Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError (undefined method `[]' for
nil:NilClass) on line #57: 55: <%end -%> 56:  57: [<%=
@svm[:zvm_xcat_mgt_vswitch] %>] 58:  59: # (StrOpt ) rdev_list for each
vswitch's uplink real device(s), seperated by ','.*

The error seems to be related to rdev_list for physnet... I have tried
comma separated and even blank values.

I have been following the deployment documentation (
https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-openstack-cloud-6/book_cloud_deploy/data/cha_depl_ostack.html)
but it doesn't provide much regarding z/VM...

Anybody playing with SuSE Cloud 6? :)

Thanks,

Tito Garrido
