You _can_ do what you want. You just need to understand that one OSA card can have many subchannel addresses. You can share the card, but not the subchannel addresses. So, from MAINT, or any other userid with CP class B, do a "#cp q osa free" command. Pick any three consecutive addresses, and specify the first one as the RDEV for the VSWITCH.
