Well we have been trying to set this up under z/VM 5.4 with suse10 sp 2 on a layer 2 switch with no luck. So I guess we should hold off until 6.1 is available :-)
Anyone having any luck with the ability to move Linux guests from one z/VM to another while retaining it's IP and MAC address? We were told this could only be done on a layer 2 network especially if we want to trunk OSA's for band width. Sorry to jump in on the z/VM 6.1 subject.
