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,

Subject: OSA-2 sharing between Linux LPARS


I need to share between two LPARS - (that have working copies of Linux
running on each LPAR with separate IP addresses and Hostnames) - a single
OSA-2 adapter.  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.
