Hello...

I have good news:  after leaving out the portname, I was able to get
further with my install:  However, I'm not sure what IPADDR it wants
below:

Device address for data channel>
0.0.0342
Portname to use> Enable OSI Layer 2 support? 1) Yes
2) No

qeth: Device 0.0.0340/0.0.0341/0.0.0342 is a OSD Express card (level:
035f)
with link type OSD_1000 (portname: )
qeth: Hardware IP fragmentation not supported on eth0
qeth: VLAN enabled
qeth: Multicast enabled
qeth: IPV6 enabled
qeth: Broadcast enabled
qeth: Could not set up broadcast echo filtering on eth0: 0xe00d
qeth: Using SW checksumming on eth0.

qeth: Outbound TSO not supported on eth0
Automatic configuration via DHCP? 1) Yes
2) No

2) No

(Should this be a new IPADDR for the client?)


Thanks,

Unfortunately (or perhaps by design), the installer retries the dialog
if it cannot activate the NIC.  So, something is preventing the system
from activating the NIC.  It may very well be that the OSA is in layer 2
mode, talking to a physical switch in layer 2 mode.  If it is, then you
will need to specify layer 2 mode to the installer dialog, and come up
with an appropriate MAC address for the NIC.  If you're still ATTACHing
real devices to your guest, I suppose the MAC would be whatever the real
OSA reports for that value.

If your OSA and switch are not in layer 2 mode, then something else is
wrong.  I saw that you're specifying a port name for the NIC.  Unless
someone else is already sharing that OSA and specifying a port name,
don't do that.  The usual recommendation also, is to use all upper case
letters for the port name, because that's all that z/OS can specify.  If
you're trying to share the card with a z/OS system, and you specify a
lower case (or mixed case) port name, you'll prevent the z/OS system
from activating its NIC.  In general, most people recommend that you
never use port names at all.  It's not really needed, and can lead to a
lot of head scratching.
