We are running Redhat Linux 2.6.18-1.2747.el kernel. So if I understand it correctly if the NICDEF statement for the 0600 qeth device in the zVM configuration file for the guest is removed then the corresponding interface will not come up it Linux sys file system and 0700 will be the only network interface that the guest recognizes and come up eth0.
I think I know the network interface definitions (/etc/sysconfig/network-scritps/ifcfg-ethX) that need to be changed.

If you get rid of the configuration files, the next time your system is started, they won't be in /sys. What appears to be files and directories in /sys really aren't, they're part of what's called a pseudo file system. What distribution are you running? That will determine exact file names and directories. If it's SLES, you should be able to go into YaST and delete the interface you don't want.
