Neal There's something wrong with your manner of posting. I detected your last - maybe - post only in the Google Groups digest. The post did not and does not appear in the archives:
http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind0906&L=ibm-main&O=D&H=0&D=1&T=0 which is where I keep a look out during the day rather than be swamped by e- mails. The same applies to your prompt post where you provide the D NET,TRL,TRLE= output. I'm going to have to post this as a "reply" to my previous post". - So I'm glad you think you've worked out your problem. Regarding the D NET,TRL,TRLE= messages, going by the examples in the Communications Server SNA Operations manual, I believe the OSA feature was "in use" because the IST1577I and IST1221I messages are there. You can "delete" a TRL only when it is not "in use". Presumably it was still "in use" because you couldn't quite pin down what name to use in the STOP device- name command!

My test system was running fine with the following TRLE definitions: Addresses (portname): 400-402(gigport2) 600-602(gigport1) I entered these in error originally since I thought the 400 addresses were gigport1 and the 600 address were gigport2. That is what I logically would have done. When I created the TRLE entries on the production system, I had both address ranges with the same PORTNAME and got those recovery errors. Not realizing that the PORTNAMES had to be the same across the LPARS, I changed them. That did not fix the error, so Google being my friend eventually got me to the fact that they had to have the same name, and I vaguely remembered reading that in the manual. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the TRLEs to be updated, but when I bought down my test system, it grabbed the ports, and renamed the portname, so them the test system quit working. I think, a reIPL is the best solution now, I stopped the TRL and devices from auto starting on both sustems so I can do a "controlled" start after the IPL. Thanks for your help. All of the pieces eventually came together. It's not often anymore that I get to fight new installation problems like this.
