I'm trying to build a new server under VM and can't seem to get the virtual NIC
to talk to the vswitch to come online. The error seems to indicate a mismatch
between layer2 and layer3 but I can't see it. Any help would be appreciated.
I've cross posted to the zLinux listserve
When I log into the server I see:
NIC 0800 is created; devices 0800-0802 defined
z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, Service Level 0903 (64-bit),
built on IBM Virtualization Technology
There is no logmsg data
Displaying the vswitch it sure looks like layer 2 to me:
q vswitch vsw2
VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW2 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 4 Maxconn: INFINITE
PERSISTENT RESTRICTED ETHERNET Accounting: OFF
VLAN Unaware
MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-03
State: Ready
IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8
Isolation Status: OFF
RDEV: 0C64.P00 VDEV: 0C64 Controller: DTCVSW1
RDEV: 0C74.P00 VDEV: 0C74 Controller: DTCVSW2 BACKUP
The conf file I'm using:
HOSTNAME=ODBD1.CIT.NIH.GOV
DASD=200-205
NETTYPE=qeth
IPADDR=128.231.xxx.xx
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0800,0.0.0801,0.0.0802

PORTNAME=UNASSIGNED
LAYER2=0

GATEWAY=128.231.xxx.x
When I issue ODBD1 I eventually get:
