Re: VSWiTCH on SLES8
Our SLES8 servers are at SLES8-SP3, corresponding to kernel 2.4.21. In SLES8, the Guest Lan is defined in file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-hsi0. Is it still this file with VSWITCH, or should it be /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 or something similar? Christmas is a funny season.

What kernel level or SP level do you have to be at if so? SLES8 works fine with VSWITCH also without any SP instelled on. However I recommend to you to use (at least) SP3. bye, Gian -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

Re: VSWiTCH on SLES8
Most of our SLES8 kernel levels are 2.4.21-231 (I don't know what service pack that is) and they work just fine with the Vswitch. Wolfe, Gordon W wrote: Will SLES8 handle VSWITCH?
