Hi All,
I'm mid-way through migrating from VM4.30 to VM4.40 and have successfully
created a virtual switch for communication from my RHEL 3 AS guests to the
rest of the world. I have created the controller, switch and simulated QDIO
devices in VM and a query on the devices (Q LAN DET) shows that all is well
- including that connection to the OSA Express. The one thing that I'm
confused about is which driver Linux would require to access the new QDIO
device. Right now I am aliasing eth0 to qeth in modules.conf but when the
guest is started it complains that the interface is not responding. When I
do an /sbin/ifconfig -a I do not see eth0, only local and eth1
(Hipersockets) are initialized. Am I using the correct Linux driver module
for this type of connection? Also, is there something that I might be
missing in the DEF or COUPLE statements for the simulated NIC devices that's
new to VM4.40? Currently using:
To define the NIC:
DEF NIC 3909 TYPE QDIO DEV 3
COUPLE 3909 TO SYSTEM VSS3000
To define the Controller in PROFILE TCPIP:
VSWITCH CONTROLLER ON 0206
To define the Virtual Switch:
DEF VSWITCH VSS3000 RDEV 0206 CON PORT DEV0200
Any input's appreciated, thanks in advance.
Steve
