(I thought the MAC address was automatically assigned. Why is it asking for a static address?) We are using OSA GB-EXP. Please see below: Device address for read channel [0.0340]> 0.0.0340 Device address for write channel> 0.0.0341 Device address for data channel> 0.0.0342 Portname to use> osasles10 Enable OSI Layer 2 support? 1) Yes 2) No > 1 MAC address> Please select the type of your network device. 1) OSA-2 or OSA Express 2) Hipersockets -------------------- 3) Channel To Channel (CTC) 4) ESCON 5) Inter-User Communication Vehicle (IUCV) > * * * End of File * * * * -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Smrcina Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 3:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SLES10 Client There's apparently some code in the card image install kernel that looks for a real CD. Don't worry about that. When it asks for the network device addresses you need to key in the virtual device numbers in the format that is presented right before the question is asked. So when the question comes up: Device address for read channel [e003]> You respond: 0.0.0340 It will subsequently ask for the write channel and data channel, just reply with the device numbers in ascending sequence in the same format.
