I've been beating my head against the wall for a week now trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get it figured out, so I'm appealing to the fine folks on this list for help.
I have a new OSA port all to myself and it's connected to a trunk port on the network switch. I've talked to the network guys and they know what it is that I want, so I'm pretty sure that part is set up correctly. I've configured TCPIP and the stack is up. From TCPMAINT, I can ping the gateway. I have a connection to the network. I built the VSWITCH with the following command and added it to SYSTEM CONFIG. Addresses have been changed for security: DEF VSWITCH VSS3000 RDEV 1234 2234 PORTT TRUNK VLAN 1234 (For RDEV, there are two links for fail-over) Next, I coupled the guest to the vswitch: SET VSWITCH VSS3000 GRANT SLES10 VLAN 1234 Then, I built a SLES10-SP2 guest and configured the network with YaST. I cannot ping outside the guest. Here are the steps I've taken and info I've verified in an effort to troubleshoot: 1. Log on to the guest VM and from CMS, ping the gateway. This works. I can ping devices outside the z10. 2. Tried configuring SLES10 using either VLAN-aware method (Novell doc indicates manual reconfiguration of adapter & create ifcfg-vlanxxxx file). This doesn't work. I can't ping outside the VM. 3. Tried making the guest VLAN-unaware (ACCESS 1234 option for SET VSWITCH) and configure SLES interface as normal (eth0). Doesn't work either. Cannot ping outside the VM. I am no expert on VLANs and I appear to be stuck. I would appreciate anyone's input on this one. Thanks in advance, Dave
