We ran into this writing the Virtualization Cookbook with SLES9. This error was intermittent for us until the OSA microcode was brought up to date. This labelbox was added:
If you get the following error that the gateway cannot be pinged: HCPIPN2833E IP address is already registered.... ... Warning: The gateway address 129.40.178.254 did not ping.Do you want to ignore this error and continue anyway? (Yes/No) This may be due to a bug in the OSA Express card. If so it may be due to a race condition. You can try working around this error by IPLing the system again from the reader with the command (you may have to try multiple times): ==> #CP IPL 00C This bug was fixed with OSA microcode level 6.26. It is in MCL07 at driver 55 EC J13477 Driver 55 is for the z/890 and z/990. The OSD 626 code level was available on Feb. 16th 2005. Driver 3G is for the z/800 and z/900. The latest code level for the OSD code level 35A was available on March 2nd 2005.
