Remove the NICDEF of the NIC you no longer require from the USER DIRECTORY update the ifcfg-ethx files as needed
Here's what I do >From the Servers Console service network stop vmcp DET NIC <VDEV> mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 $HOME mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s/eth1/eth0/" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 service network start or shutdown -r now dont worry about /sys a reboot will clean it as it is a dynamic filesystem anyways William 'Doug' Carroll Mainframe Systems Eng Sr I Global Technology Infrastructure ECS Virtualization Technology http://www.jpmchase.com "Bhemidhi, Ashwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Sent by: Linux on [email protected] 390 Port cc <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> Subject Re: Remove a qeth device 06/05/2008 06:14 PM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> 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.
