Gordon,
The VM userid must have a NIC defined as type qdio, eg. DEF NIC 480
TYPE QDIO
Couple it to the vswitch, eg. COUPLE 480 SYSTEM VSW1
I have defined the VSWITCH in my SYSTEM CONFIG file:
DEF VSWITCH VSW1 RDEV 5000 4F00
5000 is the primary OSA triplet and 4F00 is the failover
Grant the VM userid access with SET VSWITCH VSW1 GRANT vm_id
Define your vswitch controllers, I use the default VSWCTRL1 and
VSWCTRL2. Include IUCV *VSWITCH in their entries.
Create entries for them in the SYSTEM DTCPARMS file on TCPMAINT
:nick.VSWCTRL1 :type.server
:class.stack
:exit.VSWCTRL
The zLinux file, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=
NETMASK=
NETTYPE=qeth
NETWORK=
ONBOOT=yes
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0480,0.0.0481,0.0.0482
TYPE=Ethernet
Hope this helps,
Betsie

Can someone point me to a reference for configuring Linux SLES9-SP1 with z/VM
5.1 using VSWITCH? We're trying to convert over from guest LANs.
All the references I've been able to find are either for z/VM 4.4 or for SLES8,
or both.
I've tried
Wunder,Odonez and MacIsaac, "z/VM VSWITCH with failover" (no linux details)
Vic Cross "VSWITCH and VLAN features of z/VM 4.4" (z/VM 4.4 and SLES8)
Simon Williams, "Networking overview for Linux on zSeries" (z/VM 4.4 and SLES8)
linuxvm.org/how-to
SLES9 has changed how it handles the qeth driver from sles8. We no longer use
/etc/chandev.conf, but files within /etc/sysconfig/network. I need to know how
to set up those files for VSWITCH, and if there are any others I should be
aware of.
Some people are like Slinkies...
Not really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to your face
when you push them down a flight of stairs.
