Make sure you have specified the portname correctly in your
/etc/chandev.conf file. Something like:
noauto;qeth0,0x1000,0x1001,0x1002;add_parms,0x10,0x1000,0x1002,portname:GBE0
>From the "Device Drivers and Installation Commands" manual:
PORT_NAME
Must be specified for each OSA-Express CHPID in QDIO mode. Identifies
the port for sharing by other operating system images. On z900, z800,
and
on S/390 mainframes the PORT_NAME can be 1 to 8 characters long and
must be uppercase. All operating systems sharing the port must use the
same PORT_NAME. Example: NETWORK1.
This parameter is required only for z900, z800 and S/390 mainframes. For
z990 and later mainframes you are advised to omit it.
You can get the current port name with something like the following over on
TSO:
ioacmd query one_osa <chipid> <output dataset>
You'll find a line in the output dataset that looks something like:
Port name ----------------------> GBE0
