Question 1:
I want to move to VSWITCH for the double-OSA failover
capability. But I have 2 VM LPARs, and 2, not 4, OSAs.
Assuming this picture:
(Richard: Please use monospace fon, or paste into Notepad) :-)
+---------------+---------------+
| lpar a | lpar b |
| |
|
| |
|
| VMtcp a | VMtcp b |
+-----------+---+----+----------+
| OSA1 |
+--------+
|
|
========LAN=10.0.0.0/16==========
Where tcp-a is 10.0.0.12, and tcp-b
is 10.0.0.7, and today they share the
same (single) OSA1.
If I put a VSWITCH in lpar-a, using both
OSA1 and OSA2, what do I do with lpar-b?
Can I really not put a VSWITCH in each LPAR
using the same pair of OSAs?
Question 2: This question is independent of the first one
(This is a rehash of a question that went unanswered a year ago -
http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0707&L=ibmvm&D=0&F=P&T=0&X=64AA48769B3D5443B0&Y=shimonl%40iname.com&P=18992&F=
Is there any problem with VMtcp-a, with IP 10.0.0.12,
acting as a virtual router to a virtual machine in its
LPAR, connected to it by a CTC?
If my network routes traffic to
10.1.2.2 via 10.0.0.12, will the VSWITCH OSA give that
traffic to VMtcp-a to deal with? At the time I had experimented
with this, but it had failed. I do not remember getting any
ideas why, and the archives don't show any answer.
Thanks,
Shimon
