FYI,as I know it will come up eventually in this forum, so I've included an
example:
The system is 2.4.7, SuSE GA (10/30/01 kernel)
I have a hipersocket connection, 2 OSA GB express, and 1 OSA FEX installed
on my zSeries in 3 LPARS. To get them all working at the same time, I coded
the following (example from 1 LPAR):
In /etc/chandev.conf
noauto
add_parms,0x10,0x7e00,0x7e02,portname:HIPR7E00 # portnames for all entries must
agree between hosts
add_parms,0x10,0x4000,0x4002,portname:QDIO4000 # I happen in insert the device
address for clarity
add_parms,0x10,0x4300,0x4302,portname:QDIO4300
add_parms,0x10,0x4d00,0x4d02,portname:QDIO4D00
