Hi,
This (how to add a network device) is described here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/s390-multi-i
nstall-guide/s1-s390info-addnetdevice.html
and this is how I created a hsi0 hipersocket device.
Now the problem is: I noticed at rebooting that the following happens
(excerpt from log):
"
May 16 05:20:34 dinotest network: Bringing up interface eth0: succeeded
May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: cannot change name of lo to hsi0: Device
or resource busy
May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup:
May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: cannot change name of lo to dev20571:
Device or resource busy
May 16 05:28:31 dinotest sag1argev: 5:28:31 (23819)
May 16 05:20:35 dinotest ifup: cannot parse MAC ` lo
May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: hsi0 hsi0 dev16279' at argument 2
May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev20366' not found
May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev18583' not found
May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev14319' not found
May 16 11:24:07 dino ifup: interface 'dev17517' not found
...
"
and so on, almost indefinitely ("device 'devxxxxx" not found')...
booting lasts a while, is then ready, and
hsi0 is not active of course.
I consulted red hat support, they told me I should use the tool
system-network-config instead of
editing manually.
However, the command seems to be able to import and export some
(config?) files,
but what else? How to define a new device with it? I can't find any
description of the tool.
Anyone having an idea what I should do? Why not edit manually and if
not, how? I am helplessly confused.
My ifcfg-hsi0 looks like this:
DEVICE=hsi0
HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.60.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.192
NETTYPE=qeth
ONBOOT=yes
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0a0b,0.0.0a0c,0.0.0a0d
TYPE=Ethernet
thanks and regards
Anna
