Thanks to the help of the kind folks on this list, I got DHCP working with SLES10 under z/VM 5.1 several months ago. I set the project aside for a while while we worked on migrating to z/VM 5.2. Now I'm picking it up again, and to my surprise, it's broken.
HCPIPN2833E Error 'E00A'X adding IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.16 for VSWITCH SYSTEM xxxxxxx. HCPIPN2833E IP address is already in use on the LAN. The address is not in use. I can 'ifdown' and it disappears from Q LAN DETAILS. If I avoid using DHCP, I can manually configure the interface using the same address the VSWITCH claims is already in use, and everything works correctly with no message. If I 'ifup' and use DHCP, I get the above message, an IP address in "Local" mode on the VSWITCH, and a non-communicative Linux user. The DCHP assignment is working, as the Linux user receives the correct IP address and hostname from the DHCP server, but that's when the VSWITCH shuts me down. I have 'fake_ll=1' set (layer 3), as well as 'ARP=no' (which was the proper magic for SLES10 with z/VM 5.1). We're at z/VM service level 0601, with VMLAN latest service VM63850. What am I missing? ok r. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
