Ronald,

Thanks for your information! I checked our z900's configuration. It should be 
OSA Express in stead of Express2.  

There is one thing I couldn't understand. The z/OS on another LPAR can work 
well on ipv6. They used the same OSA adapter.

主 题: Re: Does OSA Express2 Ethernet support zVM layer2

Anson,

From the top of my head (I can't verify anymore, no access to z900 lpars left), 
both layer 2 and layer modi should be supported (if you are current enough on 
your OSA microcode level).
But what won't work on a z900, is sharing the osa with layer 2 and layer 3 
traffic.  As I recall, the first to connect to the OSA could set the mode (2 or 
3) and all other shared connections have to use the same mode (just like the 
portname).
The restriction got lifted with z990, there you can use the same shared OSA, 
mixing layer 2 and layer 3 connections.
