Hi Berry, You did provide /etc/sysconfig/hardware for the second nic? If not the /etc/sysconfig/network doesn't kick in as the hardware is not picked up.

In one guest I succeeded but I don't know why. I had been tinkering in several places including with yast. But once it worked I still didn't figure out what the trick was. The guest has two nic's defined in VM, both qdio, connected to a vswitch. nlzlx213:/ # vmcp q v nic Adapter 0F00.P00 Type: QDIO Name: devclaw Devices: 3 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-11 VSWITCH: SYSTEM OSNLINUX Adapter 0F10.P00 Type: QDIO Name: devclaw Devices: 3 MAC: 02-00-00-00-00-12 VSWITCH: SYSTEM TSM1 The ifconfig shows eth0, eth1 and lo. But the nlzlx214, the second machine, (almost) identical to the nlzlx213 only shows eth0 and lo. Activating eth1 shows: nlzlx214:~ # ifup eth1 Interface eth1 is not available rcnetwork restart only restarts eth0. I also tried to activate with yast, the eth0 (device f00) show as just f00. The devices that should be used for eth1, f10-f12, are listed seperatly. After creating the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network, just like in the nlzlx213 machine, I do see the config on device f10, but f11 and f12 show not configured. Somewhere along the route I have missed a step. I expected to create the configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network would be enough but apparently I need to do something more. So the question, how to activate and configure the second nic? I do prefer to do this without yast, not only because I don't succeed with yast as well, but also to see what has to be done here.
