Hi,
i am not a networking expert, but need to build a layer 2 vlan in z/VM
5.4. Linux is Suse SLES 11 SP1.
I was told to use layer 2 for VLAN 485 so i used these commands to create
vswitch / vlan
DEFINE VSWITCH VMT1VSW0 RDEV E606 E706 CONTROLLER * ETHERNET VLAN 485
native 485
DEFINE LAN
Stefan,
you have connected your NIC device to a z/VM virtual LAN.
Virt. LAN has no VLAN support nor can it connect to an OSA Adapter.
Only the z/VM VSWITCH has both Layer 2 and VLAN support.
So if you want to connect to a externel switch via a OSA adapter using
VLAN tagging you must use a
Hello Joerg,
thanks for the answer. Yes, the NIC is connected to the LAN, the LAN is
connected via VSWITCH to the OSA. We also changed from layer 2 to layer 3
(IP), but still no connection to the outside world.
i am able to ping another linux within the same vlan. this is how it
looks
Why are you issuing the DEFINE LAN command? You don't need it.
Your NICDEF should be connected to VMT1VSW0 not VMT1LN01.
This is why you can't connect anywhere.If you use DEFINE LAN, you're
just building an internal to z/VM only lan. You don't need this unless
you're doing guest to
Is the native VLAN of the switch really 485? When the guest VLAN is the same
as the specified native VLAN, the frame is sent untagged. That will cause the
switch to apply the port default VLAN, which is the native VLAN unless it has
been overridden.
In most cases, the native VLAN is 1.
Hi Stefan,
you wrote
the Linux guest nic is defined in the directory
NICDEF 9000 TYPE QDIO DEVICES 3 LAN SYSTEM VMT1LN01 MACID E32200
So that NIC is connected to LAN VMT1LN01 not a VSWITCH od did I miss
something ?
What do you mean with
Yes, the NIC is connected to the LAN, the LAN is
Hello,
yes we tried that too, and now this is working.
so now we use NICDEF - VSWITCH with VLAN 001
What i tried was NICDEF - LAN - VSWITCH with VLNAN 485 which did not
work, even when trying with VLAN 001. Is this gerneral not possible? Is
the VM LAN for internal commuication only
Hi Stefan,
yes this is the case virt. LAN is only for internal use, as I stated
first..

Hi
I know this was discussed awhile back, but is there any compelling reason why I
need to go to z/VM 6.1 for a z196 install? The more I read about z/VM 6.1 it
seems that most of the enhancements are covered under z/VM 5.4 at the latest
level. But I just wanted to make sure that there is

Hi Marcy,
Great thanks. BTW, I heard that the Workload Ensemble under URM (z/Manager) is
still not GA is this true and in general have you guys used z/Manager and what
do you think? My initial interest in z/Manager was for the Workload piece where
they claim it will give z/OS Workload Manager
We've not looked at URM or z/Manager yet. We've had bigger fish to fry
including the z196 installs!
Maybe someone else has, but if it not GA, they wouldn't be able to comment yet!

Hi Marcy,
Thanks. Yeah I suspect that we will be in the same boat in terms of priority.
Thanks again
