Scott, I have seen the HCPIPN2833E-E005 problem in spring 2006. At that point of time the recommendation of z/VM has been:
A63895HP PUT UM31612 LINUX GUEST CANNOT RECONNECT TO NETWORK A63867HP PUT UM31575 STORAGE SHORTAGE, VM NOT FLUSHING USER'S NDMBK'S. A63847HP PUT UM31558 ABENDIOL008 OSA DEVICES DETACH FROM VSWITCH CONTROL A63735HP PUT UM31527 FIX FOR UNCOUPLED VIRTUAL NIC AND VLAN RANGE SUPPOR A63647HP PUT UM31517 VIRTUAL HIPERSOCKETS NIC SIGA-W HANGS IN CC=2 STATE A63769HP PUT UM31475 ABENDFRE016 HCPIPM FRETTING LLXBK A63723HP PUT UM31440 INCORRECT NDMBKS CAN CAUSE LOOPS AND PTE002 ABENDS A63737HP PUT UM31432 LOSS OF CONNECTIVITY ON LAYER2 VIRTUAL NIC AFTER RE These are applied from the bottom up (UM31432 through UM31612). VSWITCH operation also depends on the VM TCP/IP stack, so it would also be a good idea to install the latest service for the stack. The most recent PTF for TCPIP is UQ92099 (APAR PQ83743). I suggest installing this TCPIP APAR and any prereq APARs for the stack. It turned out that upgrading to this service level solved the problem. I can't tell you the recommended z/VM service level for today, since I am a zLinux person, not a z/VM person.
