Hi, I already installed rhel 5.4 , native lpar, osa layer 3. This is up and running. I tried reinstalling rhel 5.4 , native lpar with osa layer 2. During the install it will prompt for a MAC address. Can someone guide me thru this. what is the mac address the rhel installater is looking for ? I tried putting in the mac address of the OSA and it doesn't accept it. I tried putting blank but there is an error later during the initializing of the osa. I tried putting my own administered mac address 02:00:00:00:00:01, this one seems to work but i am confused what this mac address is for.
I look at the example of channel bonding setup and all them seems to have the mac addr set to the mac address of the device ? #> ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:06:29:55:2A:01 #> ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:05:27:54:21:04 should i go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and edit ifcfg-eth0 and change the mac address back to the osa address ? appreciate if you can shed some light on this.
