Anne, It would appear that OSA-E is not (at this time) supported by the Marist system. The problem you see is happening because your OSA-Express is not an OSA -- OSA refers to the pre-Express OSA cards, or an OSA defined in LCS mode. If there\'s not an option that says \"QDIO\" or \"OSA-Express\", you\'re out of luck.
If you want to play with Marist on your OSA-Express, redefine it to use LCS rather than QDIO. This will require IOCDS work, and a port cannot be in LCS and QDIO mode simultaneously so you would not be able to do this if your port is used by another LPAR/guest. This is also not possible if you have the Gigabit Ethernet OSA-Express, as it *only* supports QDIO. Rather than changing your IOCDS, you could use CTC to link to another system and use that as your router to the outside world. (Of course if you don\'t already have CTC defined to that LPAR and would have to update the IOCDS to do so, you might as well change your OSA...) There\'s network voodoo involved, but nothing that this list couldn\'t get you through! ;) Best of luck, Vic Cross On 17.10.2002 at 05:36:53, \"Peticolas, Anne\" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I\'m trying to get my feet wet by bringing up Marist distribution from > tape in an LPAR environment.
