0x4e indicates that you have a mismatch between your Linux configuration and your z/VM configuration. I suspect that don't have layer2=1 in the Linux configuration, as the output from your QUERY VSWITCH command shows 700-702 on VSWITCHE, which is defined as a layer 2 (ETHERNET) vswitch. In case anyone is confused, a real OSA can tolerate layer 2 and layer 3 connections to the same OSA (though as was said, layer 2 and layer 3 connections can't talk to each other). A virtual NIC, on the other hand, requires that the connection type match the vswitch type, IP (layer2=0) or ETHERNET (layer2=1).
