Srivinas,

After IPL of ZVM I get :

VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW1 STATUS IS READY.
DTCVSW1 is vswitch controller for 0503.P00
DTCVSW2 is vswitch controller for backup device 0506.P00

OK so you do have a VSWITCH defined, and it appears to be using real OSA
devices 503, 504 and 505 (with 506, 507 and 508 as the backup triplet)
So for your Linux to connect to it, it would need a NICDEF.

Now we see:
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ARP=no
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.68.222.22
NETMASK=255.255.255.224
NETTYPE=qeth
ONBOOT=yes
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0503,0.0.0504,0.0.0505

The SUBCHANNELS variable also show devices 503, 504 and 505 - however,
these are virtual devices, not real devices. If they are supposed to be
real devices, then that would explain why your Linux network is not
working - it's trying to get the same three real devices that the VSWITCH
grabbed when z/VM IPLed. If you were trying to use real OSA devices, you
might have this in your Linux virtual machine's directory entry:

DEDICATE 0503 0503
DEDICATE 0504 0504
DEDICATE 0505 0505

However, if you set the real and virtual OSA addresses to be the same,
then you might have something like this in the directory entry:

NICDEF 0503 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSW1

If this is the case, then you would also have to give the virtual machine
access to the VSWITCH (because there is no unrestricted VSWTICHes Alan
:)). So, can you show us the user directory entry for the virtual machine
that is running Linux?  Also, what is the output of:

==> Q VSWITCH VSW1 ACC

If you're not sure how to get these, ask the z/VM sysadmin.

Hope this helps.
