I've got to learn to keep better notes. This worked once in my z/VM 5.4 under z/VM 5.2 running in an LPAR with a GP engine. Now I'm trying to do the same thing, z/VM 5.4 as guest in z/VM 5.2 in an LPAR with an IFL. I have defined a NIC for the 2nd level z/VM 5.4 guest, and connected it to the

Thanks, Alan. My notes said that I was able to do it. Obviously my notes are wrong. I connected a real OSA triplet to the guest and it works fine. On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 8:55 AM, Alan Altmark alan_altm...@us.ibm.comwrote: On Thursday, 01/22/2009 at 08:37 EST, Mark Pace mpac...@gmail.com

Latest layer 2 / layer 3 vswitch question. Within z/VM 5.4, can I have 1 layer 2 switch for my guests that support only layer 2, and a layer 3 switch for linux and TCPIP? Both would be connected to the same OSA (z9) via different triplet addresses. Next thing I've got to figure out is how to

I just tried this. If you have an external switch connecting the two VSWITCHes, then this seems to work fine. They¹re all one layer 2 collision domain, and the external switch seems to glue everything together properly. If you don¹t have an external switch and you have to use VM TCPIP or a Linux

Yes, you can have an OSA triplet attached to a z/VM tcpip in layer3 mode and another triplet from the same OSA attached to a z/VM tcpip in layer2 mode. On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 10:01 AM, Mark Pace mpac...@gmail.com wrote: If I update one VM to 5.4 before another running 5.2, can one be layer 2
