Again, it is only for some guests.
Have you preserved the even/odd numbering when you map the real QDIO device onto a virtual one? IIRC the driver in Linux arranges the (virtual) devices in the order that fits the tripod arrangement, but when you swap even and odd devices in the attach, the driver got them wrong. If you simply took the next 3 real devices and attach them as EC00-EC02 for each server, that would suggest half of the guests get them wrong. There's various ways you can ensure the even/odd mapping is retained (including a virt=real mapping, skipping one address between the tripods, alternating swap of the first two, etc). Rob PS The Linux-390 list may be a better audience for this, though there is big overlap. -- Rob van der Heij Velocity Software, Inc http://velocitysoftware.com/
