We have installed RHEL 5.8 on z/VM 6.2. I cannot think of any reason why that would not work. We did have a problem with Vintela, had to upgrade to a newer version, but it was a Vintela bug, not RHEL or z/VM. I'm not at work, or I'd give you the Vintela versions. On Nov 9, 2012, at 12:50 AM,

Hi Berry, sure, you can always activate a qeth device manually. One possiblitiy is to make use of the znetconf command. Determine your configured options for your OSA (for instance from the corresponding udev-rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-qeth...) and specify them explicitly with the -o option of
