Dear George, I see in your 'Query OSA' that the address 9005 is now attached to DTCVSW2. If you need a second VSWITCH, you must use a free OSA-Address (maybe 9007 is free). You can dynamically define your VSWITCH (e.g. in Userid Maint) and attatch him to your Linux-System, before you put this in your System Config. Best is, you make your definitions in the profile exec of your VM-User Autolog1 instead of System Config.

Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> We currently have a functioning VSWITCH, LNXVSW1, related to a VSWITCH controller, DTCVSW2 at OSA 9004. Q VSWITCH 09:14:01 VSWITCH SYSTEM LNXVSW1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 3 Maxconn: INFINITE 09:14:01 PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF 09:14:01 VLAN Unaware 09:14:01 MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-01 09:14:01 State: Ready 09:14:01 IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 09:14:01 RDEV: 9004.P00 VDEV: 9004 Controller: DTCVSW2 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: Q OSA 09:14:46 OSA 9000 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 9000 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D4 OSD 09:14:46 OSA 9001 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 9001 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D4 OSD 09:14:46 OSA 9002 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 9002 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D4 OSD 09:14:46 OSA 9004 ATTACHED TO DTCVSW2 9004 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D4 OSD 09:14:46 OSA 9005 ATTACHED TO DTCVSW2 9005 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D4 OSD 09:14:46 OSA 9006 ATTACHED TO DTCVSW2 9006 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D4 OSD 09:14:46 OSA 903F ATTACHED TO SY92TEST 902F DEVTYPE OSA CHPID 0B OSD 09:14:46 OSA 907F ATTACHED TO SY91TEST 906F DEVTYPE OSA CHPID 0F OSD 09:14:46 OSA 90D0 ATTACHED TO VTAM 90D0 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D1 OSE 09:14:46 OSA 9100 ATTACHED TO TCPIP 9100 DEVTYPE OSA CHPID D5 OSD 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?
