Thanks Alan. The error disappeared after I had the OSA CHPIDs deactivated/activated at the HMC. I actually had both the Link and the VSWITCH defined as layer2, so no further changes were needed.

Verify that the NIC is actually coupled to the VSWITCH you think it is coupled to 2. Verify that the coupled VSWITCH is ETHERNET 3. Verify that your TCP/IP stack is of the same level as the ones that are working If all else fails, open a PMR.
