Thanks so far.
The user ID's PROFILE EXEC has:
DEFINE NIC 500 QDIO
COUPLE 500 TO SYSTEM LINUX1
and after logon, z/VM replies with:
NIC 0500 is created; devices 0500-0502 defined
NIC 0500 is connected to VSWITCH SYSTEM LINUX1
During the IPL of the SLES9 installation system, after the networking
information is entered, various qeth messages and a "eth0 is available,
continuing with network setup" inspire me. Then, while trying to ping
the gateway, I get 100% packet loss and:
Warning: The gateway address 172.4.1.1 did not ping.
The user ID does not have TCPIP command access so I can't
try to ping/ftp to any other address to further diagnose from z/VM.
I'd like to be able to determine if it's an issue with the user ID or
something in the Linux VMRDR/INITRD. Not sure how to do that.

Of course you have to give the user ID a triplet on the VSWITCH and couple
it. I put this line:
NICDEF 600 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSW1
in a PROFILE in the USER DIRECT file. Then when you logon, both tasks are
accomplished - you should see:
00: NIC 0600 is created; devices 0600-0602 defined
What you *don't* want to see is:
00: HCPNDF6011E You are not authorized to COUPLE to SYSTEM VSW1
(hmmm ... thinking of how Alan might clarify ... :))
If you want to split the role of VM sysadmin and network sysadmin, the
network sysadmin can alternatively add an entry to the SYSTEM DTCPARMS
file on the TCPMAINT 198 disk.

AUTOLOG1 is typically only run at IPL time. If you haven't IPLed or
executed AUTOLOG1 since IPL (and AUTOLOG1 should only run at IPL) then
you will have to issue your command dynamically.
Also after your ping ask the ARP table by doing a NETSTAT ARP ALL
<controller machine>
Where <controller machine> is the name of your controller machine. Do
the NETSTAT command twice one second apart.
If it is working you should see the IP and MAC of the gateway.

Besides granting access for a user ID to a VSWITCH in AUTOLOG1's
PROFILE EXEC, is there anything else that needs to be done for that
user to use this network construct? I'm having an issue pinging the
gateway
from a new user ID, but on the surface, it appears to be coupled
properly to
the defined VSWITCH.
