Latest layer 2 / layer 3 vswitch question. Within z/VM 5.4, can I have 1 layer 2 switch for my guests that support only layer 2, and a layer 3 switch for linux and TCPIP? Both would be connected to the same OSA (z9) via different triplet addresses.
Next thing I've got to figure out is how to change a running SuSE linux guest from a layer 2 vswitch to a layer 3 vswitch.
