Hello all, I'm having a problem connecting a host to a VSWITCH that is using two *new* OSA3 adaptors. Here's the message from the TCPIP console followed by the explanation in the TCPIP Messages and Codes.
ToOsd ProcessReadBuffer: Termination failure code F6 Possible LAN transport misconfiguration detected during OSD device initialization DTCOSD355E Possible LAN transport misconfiguration detected during OSD device initialization Explanation: An adapter error was received during initialization. This message is preceded by message DTCOSD066E with the error code. Possible reasons for error code F6 are: v The adapter was coupled to a guest LAN or virtual switch with the ETHERNET transport type. However, the TCP/IP z/VM OSD device driver does not support this transport type. v In a second-level virtual switch environment, there is a mismatch between the transport defined for the virtual NIC and the simulated OSA-Express device. Possible reason for error code 4E is: v A virtual switch was defined with ETHERNET transport type, but the target OSA-Express device does not support this transport.System Action: The device is shutdown. I have multiple other VSWITCHES using both layer2 and layer3 transport. It appears from the explanation that there may be either an issue with a TCPIP 5.4 driver (not likely because I have another stack on the same LPAR using ETHERNET layer2 on a different OSA), or perhaps there is an issue with the OSAs. I have recycled the devices and CHPIDs at the VM level, but have not deactivated/activated at the HMC. And yes, the VSWITCH is defined to be ETHERNET as well as the link in the TCPIP definitions. Any ideas? Thanks, Denny Burch z/VM and z/LINUX Systems DISA DECC Mechanicsburg 717 605-1181 (dsn) 430-1181
