i am attempting to set up a new VSWITCH. i followed the instructions in the pdf "z/VM VSWITCH with failover" (with cursory glances at Alan Admarks presentation on "HA and automatic network failover using VSWITCH")
so, per the book, i have two VSWITCH controllers in USER DIRECT : VSWCTRL1 & VSWCTRL2 with appropriate links to TCPMAINT and their own 191 disks, etc. i've logged on to them and formated their 191 A disks and copied over TCPIP MESSAGE PROFILE TCPERROR VMSES PARTCAT PROFILE EXEC from TCPIP's 191 disk and set up PROFILE TCPIP on their A disk with VSWITCH CONTROLLER ON specified. i've added the controllers to TCPMAINT's SYSTEM DCTPARMS: :nick.VSWCTRL1 :type.server :class.stack :exit.VSWCTRL :nick.VSWCTRL2 :type.server :class.stack :exit.VSWCTRL I have defined the VSWITCH: define vswitch vsw1 rdev 500 1000 then the fun begins. when i log on to VSWCTRL1 , it tries to do a COUPLE. i cannot figure out what is causing this to happen: DMSACP723I D (198) R/O DMSACP723I E (591) R/O DMSACP723I F (592) R/O Ready; T=0.01/0.01 18:01:10 DTCRUN1022I Console log will be sent to user TCPMAINT 18:01:10 DTCRUN1026I TCPRUNXT EXEC (SETUP) returned ":Owner.MAINT" 18:01:10 DMSCPY721I Copy VSWCTRL1 TCPIP D1 to PROFILE TCPIP A1 (old file) 18:01:10 DTCRUN1022I Console log will be sent to user MAINT 18:01:10 CTCA 0D09 DEFINED 18:01:10 HCPCPL058E CTCA 0674 busy on SP4 18:01:10 DTCRUN1001W "CP COUPLE D09 SP4 0674" failed with return code 58 18:01:10 DTCRUN1026I TCPRUNXT EXEC (BEGIN) returned ":Owner.MAINT" 18:01:10 DTCRUN1021R To cancel TCP/IP Stack startup, type any non-blank characte r and 18:01:10 press ENTER. To continue startup, just press ENTER. the COUPLE is one that we use on TCPIP to route IP traffic from one of our VSEs why is VSWCTRL1 trying to COUPLE to my VSE? prg Phillip Gramly Systems Programmer Communications Data Group Champaign, IL
