If you have supporting hardware, you can potentially get better throughput with link
aggregation.
But, using your method just define the new Vswitch. You do not need to 'attach'
anything, CP handles the device mechanics. Depending upon how much traffic you are
pumping through the OSA on D4 you may want to pick a different OSA CHPID. These are
some of the things that should be determined with monitoring.

We currently have a functioning VSWITCH, LNXVSW1, related to a VSWITCH controller,

We are trying to understand how LNXVSW1 is related to the VSWITCH controller, DTCVSW2
so that we can configure a second VSWITCH, LNXVSW2, for redundancy and improved
throughput.
We believe it is related through our DEFINE in SYSTEM CONFIG:
/* vswitch definitions*/
define vswitch lnxvsw1 portname lnxvsw1 rdev 9004
/* end of vswitch definition */
and our subsequent OSA ATTACH of 9004 to DTCVSW2:

09:14:46 OSA 9101 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 9101 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D5 OSD
Is this correct?
If so, then to configure a second VSWITCH, we should be able to DEFINE a second
VSWITCH, LNXVSW2, in SYSTEM CONFIG as 9005 and ATTACH the OSA 9005 TO DTCVSW1.
Is this correct?
