The OSA-2 must be defined as shared in HCD (iocds) and OSASF needs to be run to setup the OAT for each LPAR that will access the OSA. You will need to define the IP addresses and the device addresses for each LPAR. You can use the same device addresses in each LPAR.
Be sure and define all of the IP addresses that your Linux will be responding to so that the OSA will respond or set one of the LPAR's as the Primary Router.

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

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.
