Title: RE: [IBMVM] Hipersockets - problem with some guests

sigh your yast picture was, well, questionable. I suppose I have seen something similar I always choose the low order device (0.0.ec00) and ignore the others. Attached versus dedicate: should not be a difference as longas the devices are available to the virtual linux server.

Strangely some guests show individual address of hipersockets triad
while configuring network via YaST in SLES9. For example, see below:

?????????????????????? Network cards configuration
? Network card setup? ?Network cards to configure??????????????????????
? ? ? ?Available are:?????????????????????????????? ?
?Configure your ? ? ?IBM Hipersocket (0.0.ec00) ? ?
?network card here. ? ? ?IBM Hipersocket (0.0.ec01) ? ?
? Adding a network ? ? ?IBM Hipersocket (0.0.ec02) ? ?
?card: ? ? ?IBM IUCV ? ?
?Choose a network ? ? ?Other (not detected) ? ?
?card from the list ? ? ????????????????????????????????????????????? ?
?of detected network ? ? [Configure...] ?
?cards. If your ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
?network card was not? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
?autodetected, select? ?Already configured devices: ?
?Other (not detected)? ? * IBM OSA Express Ethernet card (0.0.0064) ?
?then press Configure? ? Configured with Address 172.24.6.107 ?
?. ? ? ?
? Editing or ? ? ?
?Deleting: ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
?If you press Change,? [Change...]
?an additional dialog?

and I am not able to configure hipersockets adaptor hsi0. I tried
different things - using DEDICATE instead of ATTACH etc. The same result.

Again, it is only for some guests.

Hmmm?
