You should remove "PORTT TRUNK" from the definition of the vswitch. The "PORTTYPE" is the default virtual NIC port type *not* the type of port on the real switch that the OSA port attaches to. The default virtual NIC port type is ACCESS, so removing PORTT TRUNK will change the default virtual NIC port type.
