Since the physical port was authorized only for a single VLAN (147), you
need to
z/VM 5.2 or earlier:
DEFINE VSWITCH whatever VLAN 1
SET VSWITCH whatever GRANT TCPIP VLAN 147
SET VSWITCH whatever GRANT LINUX VLAN 147
z/VM 5.3 (if desired):
DEFINE VSWITCH whatever VLAN 147 NATIVE 1
SET VSWITCH whatever GRANT TCPIP
SET VSWITCH whatever GRANT LINUX
and *remove* all VLAN specifications from your TCPIP and Linux IP
configuration.
Verify that VLAN 147 is NOT the "native" id of the physical switch. If it
is, you don't want that. That's the VLAN id that is associated with
*untagged* traffic leaving the VSWITCH. Field reports tell me that CP and
the switch need to agree on the native VLAN id. (I don't know why, as
long as you don't have virtual trunk ports on the vswitch, but it seems to
be the case.)
