Right, generate more. Change that ,03 to a higher number.  I have 16, but I
suspect you can go much higher.

So, my current IOCP has:

   CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=0100,PATH=(00),UNIT=OSA
   IODEVICE ADDRESS=(0100,03),CUNUMBR=(0100),UNIT=OSA,           X
         UNITADD=00
   IODEVICE ADDRESS=(010F),CUNUMBR=(0100),UNIT=OSAD,             X
         UNITADD=FE

Should I generate more OSA IODEVICE addresses, say 0103, 0104, and 0105  and
use 0103 as the RDEV for the VSWITCH?  What's confusing is that VSWITCH RDEV
wants a REAL device, so is it possible to generate more addresses for the
real OSA?

The VSWITCH OSA devices are attached to no one. CP will drive them but use
the VM TCPIP stack to initialize the devices. CP uses the *VSWITCH IUCV
service to talk with the stack. The stack will issue the necessary CCWs to
get the OSAs initialized. From that point on CP will drive the devices
itself and the stack is "out of the loop".

So the answer is: use OSA devices not currently in use.

Alan Altmark gave an extremely interesting and detailed presentation on just
this issue at today's Hillgang meeting.
