Are those 2 CHPIDS on the same card?  If so, you can't be layer 2 and layer
3 on the same card.

Subject: [LINUX-390] How to add Layer2 network device to linux guest machine

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.


Thank you,
Ashwin
