I am trying to birng up hipersockets on our Linux LPAR to provide
alternate connection from our z/VM environment so I can change IP on eth0
and still be able to connect via hipersockts.

[ I have set up hipersockets on z/VM guests running SLES9 without any
problem!]

This LPAR is running SLES8 and YaST on that is not slick - no
user-interface for configuring NIC.

a) I can upgrade to new (SLES9 has it) YaST, if it is feasible

b) manually configure hipersockets.

I notice that the CHPIDs are already defined.  I am hoping that by
following the  procedure on pages 58-59 of "zSeries Hiperdockets Guide" I
will be able to define hipersockets. I am not sure if this requires a
reboot.  If so, I can not do it unless a downtime has been agreed upon. I
also find some discrepencies between documentation and how SLES8 defines
the interface in /etc/chandev.conf.

I might have missed some discussion on this before. Please bear with me.
Appreciate your help.
