Hello, everyone.

I'm having trouble setting up multiple iucv devices on a red hat 7.2 image.
I have an existing device, iucv0, that works fine. It is connected to the
VM stack and is routed using proxy arp. I've been trying to add another
device, iucv1, that has a different i.p. and the same gateway. Iucv1 would
be brought up as a backup web mirror when another machine goes down for
maintenance.

Whenever I attempt to bring up iucv1 using 'ifup', I receive the following
errors:

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
iucv1: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFMTU: No such device
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
iucv1: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCADDRT: No such device
SIOCADDRT: File exists

The last line makes me think that there may be some problem with the
identical gateway.

My modules.conf presently looks like this:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias iucv1 netiucv
options netiucv iucv=TCPIP

I've tried just about every permutation I can think of, including 'alias
iucv0, iucv1 netiucv' and many others. Iucv0 works fine, even though it
isn't named in modules.conf at the moment.

My parmfile looks like this:

root=/dev/dasdb1 dasd=400-405 iucv=TCPIP

Ifcfg-iucv0:

DEVICE=iucv0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=130.39.184.35
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
REMIP=130.39.184.75
GATEWAY=130.39.184.75
TYPE=IUCV
USERCTL=no
MTU=1492
NETWORK=0.0.0.0
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
PEERDNS=no

ifcfg-iucv1:

DEVICE=iucv1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=130.39.184.161
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
ONBOOT=no
REMIP=130.39.184.75
GATEWAY=130.39.184.75
TYPE=IUCV
USERCTL=no
MTU=1492
NETWORK=0.0.0.0
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
PEERDNS=no


I only need one of these devices to function at a time. I've tried naming a
device iucv0:1, which almost worked, but gave an error where it couldn't
assign the gateway address. I'm stumped....does anyone have any
suggestions?
