Greetings
We have successfully setup an OSA as a layer 2 network with the defined
vswitch and vlan.
We are having an issue with the build of a Linux guest defined for a
layer 2 network.
While the Linux build is starting it goes out to another Linux guest on
another z/VM LPAR to download the binaries.
*** Error while accessing the FTP server:

>>> Linuxrc v2.0.79 (Kernel 2.6.16.60-0.21-default) <<<
Has anyone ever successfully built a Linux guest under z/VM on a layer 2
network?
Are there any tricks to get the installs to work?
The theory is that with the layer 2 network in place we will be able to
move Linux guest from one z/VM to another and potentially move from one
box to another box as long as the OSA's on them are connected to the
same layer 2 network and that the OSA's are defined the same so that the
Linux guest can retain their IP address's no matter which box they are
running.
Supposedly for load balancing and when maintenance is required on the
z/VM systems there will be minimal outages on the Linux guests.
Hopefully I have made some sense.
