Hi guys,
Thanks to all of you who helped me get this sorted. It's all up
and running very nicely now with multiple OSAs for redunancy etc and
hipersockets.
Lutz, Thanks for the clarifications.
Chris, Thanks for the redpaper, it was much clearer, but perhaps that was
because I had a glimmer of what I was trying to do by that time.
It's all quite trivial once you have a clear picture of what you are trying to
do.
For those interested it's quite simple.
Define VSWITCHs and point them at real OSA triplets, not the one used by TCPIP.
CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSWITCH1 RDEV 88B
CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSWITCH2 RDEV 72B
CP SET VSWITCH VSWITCH1 GRANT LINUXVM1
CP SET VSWITCH VSWITCH2 GRANT LINUXVM1
These get picked up by different switch machines to give additional redundancy.
q vswitch all
VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWITCH1 Type: QDIO Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE
PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF
USERBASED
VLAN Unaware
MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-01 MAC Protection: OFF
State: Ready
IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8
Isolation Status: OFF
Uplink Port:
RDEV: 088B.P00 VDEV: 0600 Controller: DTCVSW2
VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWITCH2 Type: QDIO Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE
PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF
USERBASED
VLAN Unaware
MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-02 MAC Protection: OFF
State: Ready
IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8

Uplink Port:
RDEV: 072B.P00 VDEV: 0600 Controller: DTCVSW1
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:30:29
In the directory for LINUXVM1 -
NICDEF 0710 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH1
NICDEF 0870 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH2
Where 710 and 870 are where the linux machine expects its OSA cards to be.
For hipersockets, just dedicate 3 OSA ports, from the hipersocket channel.
DEDICATE F000 F000
DEDICATE F001 F001
DEDICATE F002 F002
All works a treat once you can imagine how it hangs together.
Talk about making something simple sound complicated. :)
Thanks again,
Ron.
