Hello,
according to the documentation, a z/VM virtual switch controlled link
aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) allows you to combine multiple physical OSA-Express
ports into a single logical link for increased throughput and for nondisruptive
failover in the event that a port becomes unavailable. But the OSA-Express
adapters that comprise the link aggregation group must be connected to the same
physical switch and LAN segment.
We have 2 OSA-Ports on different OSA-Adapters which connect to different
physical switches. We would like to have a load balancing between the two
OSA-Interfaces and also a transparent recovery of a failed
link/switch/OSA-Port. Is there any way to accomplish that with VSWITCH?
Another problem is, that I have to specify how our (outsourced) networker-staff
have to configure the physical switches (Cisco Catalyst 6500) that we can
fullfill our requirements. Can you assist me in this task, to have no inkling
of physical switches.
thanks, Heinz
Heinz Huerlimann
