Trying to get z/VM set up as per manual "z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The
Virtualization Cookbook"
This book relates to z/VM 5.2 & SLES10.
We have got as far as page 47 "Section 4.5.4 Shutton down & reIPLing the
system"
When we issue "Q VSWITCH" we get...messages as per the sample output on P47
except we get
"Controller: NONE" rather than "Controller DTCVSW1"
We have double-checked our setup & it is exactly as per the manual.
NB
We noticed that when the DTCVSW1 starts up we get error message
"DTCOSD045E OSD device [EMAIL PROTECTED] Error getting XA subchannel id for
device 600" Then device 600 shuts down.
Extra information
1) the cookbook is at following URL
http://linuxvm.org/Present/misc/virt-cookbook-S10.pdf
2) We are running VM V5.2 with absolutely no maintenance whatsoever although
we have a V5.1 system, with lots of maintenance on it, which is giving the same
error DTCOSD045E !
3) Still have some doubts that the vswitch(s) are working correctly as when
we start the Linux install it gets to the bit when it is trying to do
the nfs mount then fails with the message "Could not find the SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10 Installation Source"
It then throws up a menu when one of the options is to do a manual
install. Tried using this both for nfs and for ftp and in each case
comms to the Linux server fails.
We have been able to ping the nfs server from LNXMAINT and also to open
an FTP session to it. However, LNXMAINT is using the VM IP address, as I
can see when I do "netstat home" so although this proves we have network
connectivity, I don't think it's using the VSWITCH at all.
4) q vswitch detail

FF02::1:FF00:1 MAC: 33-33-FF-00-00-01 Local
NB In this case devices 700-702 are virtual NICs, the real devices are
600-602.
Where have we gone wrong?
What else can we check?
tks in advance...
