There is probably more than one way to make this happen but for OSA-2 to support multiple LPARs on the same interface or port you must configure the OSA-2 using OSA-SF. I have been fortunate enough that I have not needed to do this so I can't help with any of the specifics, sorry. IBM has a pretty good red book OSA-2 Implementation Guide that should be able to walk you thru the configuration. Sorry I could not be more help, Al Schilla State of Minnesota

The first LPAR that I activate "owns" the OSA-2 adapter and the second LPAR does not have network access. Can someone please point me to a manual or documentation that can walk me through this configuration effort? If this is even possible. Sorry no VM/z and OSA-E is not currently available to me.
