In fact, for now, this is the only true circumvention that we used, defining Hipersockets, and installing (with great success and high performances) all our distributions that way.... But, as we are sometimes a little 'stupid', we'd like to understand what's happening and to be able to do it also using a real OSA adapter.... just in case, for example, we move our NFS server in another LPAR, on a separate system... you see what I mean? (which, by the way, was our former situation, with a Linux NFS server hosted by another LPAR and not sharing the OSA card....). The second point is that we are also sometimes 'lazy', and we didn't want to rewrite totally our installation guides, which were written for the SuSE distrib', thru the OSA interface... Well, sometimes I'm wondering if it wouldn't be quicker.... I'm kidding: 'just want now to understand how wecould fix that. Amicalement/Best Regards...
