We are running SuSE Linux SLES8 SP03 on a native LPAR. I shutdown network interface eth1 which was an OSA configured in TCP/IP passthru. I did an I/O configuration under HCD and redefined the OSA as QDIO. I have the following questions.
I dynamically activated the new I/O configuration under z/OS. I rebooted Linux. In the future, what are the procedures under Linux to include changes in the I/O configuration dynamically? When I enter âinsmod qethâ I get the following: linuxd01:/etc/sysconfig/network # insmod qeth Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-231-default/kernel/drivers/s390/net/qeth.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-231-default/kernel/drivers/s390/net/qeth.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg The log reflects: Aug 19 18:53:01 linuxd01 kernel: qeth: loading qeth S/390 OSA-Express driver ($Revision: 1.337.4.22 $/$Revision: 1.113.4.8 $/$Revision: 1.42.4.4 $:IPv6:VLAN) Aug 19 18:53:01 linuxd01 kernel: qeth: allocated 0 spare buffers Aug 19 18:53:01 linuxd01 kernel: qeth: Trying to use card with devnos 0xFD00/0xFD01/0xFD02 Aug 19 18:53:03 linuxd01 kernel: qeth: Device 0xFD00/0xFD01/0xFD02 is an OSD Express card (level: 0335) Aug 19 18:53:03 linuxd01 kernel: with link type Fast Eth (portname: OSD03) Aug 19 18:53:03 linuxd01 kernel: chandev_initdevice detected duplicate devicename eth1 I assume this is cause by eth1 still being defined. How do I delete eth1? Thanks. Peter
