We have few Z/VM Linux guest that we are evaluating for consideration. We have both Redhat (evaluation) and Debian guest machines installed, named svml09 and svml02 respectively. We need to 2 network interface devices in the Linux guest machines for our home grown Linux application to work. One the device talk IP and the other LLC over Ethernet. When we installed both the Linux guest we only had 1 OSA CHPID( ID 2F, 600, 601,602) allocated and available for the guest z/VM machines and during the Linux guest installation the network device were detected and configured as a part of the installation wizard in both the distributions. Here is the trouble we are facing. We recently got another OSA CHIPID 2C (0700, 0701, 0702) made available to the VM and configured it as a layer 2 device and made them available to. Now we are trying get the new network interfaces added and configured on both the Linux guest but are unable.
For the Redhat guest svml09 we followed the direction specified at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/s390-multi-i nstall-guide/s1-s390info-addnetdevice.html . When i try to bring the network device online using the command "echo 1 echo 1 /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0700/online" and check if the devices goes online the result of "cat /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0700/online" we get a result "0" inidicating the device being offline. Can anyone please point out what we are doing wrong and are how to trouble shoot this issue.
