vswitch problem

2007-06-28 Thread Shimon Lebowitz
Hi all, I have a vswitch problem (like it says in the subject). I started with this: LANOSAVM---VSE Where the VM acts as virtual router to the VSE, and defines the link on the OSA as primary router. Then I changed that to this: LAN---OSA---VSWITCH---VM---VSE where the vswitch is

Shimon. You did not provide any IP addresses other than VSE. Generally when you use the VM tcpip stack it may be setup as a router and therefore the IP addresses for VSE were on a different subnet as the VM tcpip? If this is true then all VSE guests will need an IP address on the same subnet as

The CMS ACCESS command, takes a /extension argument for making a disk a read-only extension of another. I've never understood this, and have only used it when I wish to make a disk r/o. I certainly does not work for making a disk appear elsewhere in the CMS search order, which is what I would

When CMS is searching for something executable, it does not search extensions before intervening disks. However, you could EXECLOAD your exec - that will find it according to the extension rules. Not maximally convenient, I know... Ray Mansell Ian S. Worthington wrote: Hmmm. That's what

Ian, I don't know from which operating system background you're coming, but I'm guessing it's not an IBM operating system. IBM does an amazing job of clearly documenting almost everything about their mainframe operating systems. It may take time, but it's worth taking the time to at least
