Betsie, what problem do you want to solve? 1. If you want to protect yourself from an OSA outage, a single VSWITCH with two or more OSAs plugged into a single physical switch is sufficient. 2. If you want to protect yourself from a PHYSICAL SWITCH outage, then buy a second switch and plug OSA#2 of ONE VSWITCH into it. The physical switches must be trunked together in an HA configuration. Or did you have a diffferent concern? Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
