Good Morning - I am trying to install redhat 7.2 linux on a s390 lpar. I downloaded the tapeinrd.img and the tapekrnl.img from ftp.redhat.com in /pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/s390/images and created a parmfile. The system Boots fine and I get the prompt for a FQDN, etc. and a device type which if I select escon0 and fill in the rest of the IP stuff about virtual IP address and partner IP address I then get a response back that says: No such device escon0 SIOCSIFADDR No such device escon0 unknown interface.
I have tried many different combinations when it asks to supply the parameters to pass - i.e. escon,0xc30,0xc3f,0,3 escon0,0xc30,0xc31 escon0,0xc30,0xc31,0,3 We do have escon ctc's defined. On the MVS 2.9 side it looks like this after I start TCPIP : UNIT TYPE STATUS 0C12 SCTC A-BSY 0C13 SCTC A-BSY In the above example if I use ctc0 instead of escon0 it accepts it but I never get a connection - netstat dev on mvs tcpip just shows connecting and not active and I get error messages: IEF196I IOS071I 0C13,34,NETB, MISSING DEVICE END IOS071I 0C13,34,NETB, MISSING DEVICE END 979 EZZ4310I ERROR: CODE=8010002B REPORTED ON DEVICE CTC0DEV. DIAGNOSTIC CODE: 04 EZZ4309I ATTEMPTING TO RECOVER DEVICE CTC0DEV which talk about XID's and VTAM or a channel error. My question(s) - do I have the right tape kernel images downloaded for escon support? Does anyone have a sample of what the parm file should look like regarding the ctc/escon parms? On the MVS side we run OROUTED - what should the bsdrouting parms look like? Do the IP addresses for the linux lpar and the mvs ctc have to be in different networks? I was using 128.101.100.7 for the linux IP address and 128.101.100.6 for the MVS CTC IP address. The MVS side has a CLAW interface to the network and is IP address 128.101.100.3. Is that a conflict? Anyone have a good resource of where to go to understand how this should be setup? Thanks and have a great day! :-) Tom Kunz OIT/PTS Network & AIX Systems Support University of Minnesota 1300 S. 2nd St. Mpls., MN. 55454-1083 Suite 660 Phone: 612-624-8086 Fax: 612-626-1332 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments have been scanned for viruses.
