Because you attached your REAL device E007-E009 as VIRTUAL device addresses 0340-0342. Using consistent virtual addresses on each server is a *GOOD THING*. This permits you to have fewer changes between SLES guests. You just attach different REAL devices to the guests as the same VIRTUAL addresses. Linux only sees the same virtual device addresses, so the Linux configuration is the same for pretty much everything except the IP address and Hostname. That way you take that same Golden Image, copy it to the next virtual guest server, only have to change the IP address and Hostname, and add whatever middleware it needs. The virtual OSA addresses are the same. But you'd be far better off spending a little time researching VIRTUAL SWITCHes and using them instead of real OSA addresses.

No. Most guests seem to feel healthier and more responsive if you have more than one logical CPU, but it's not required or desirable in some cases. Do note that there are some applications that don't build properly in a UP system, so we put the extra statement in to try to catch that. As Rich said, it's an example. Tailor it as you see fit. 19F and the disks you plan to use to put the Linux system on are the important bits. The rest is "as you like it". ________________________________ The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
