Afternoon, /set newbie=on
I am running SuSE 11 SP 1 in a LPAR (Yesm an LPAR, no z/VM anywhere on the horizon). This LPAR was set up as a proof of concept, but management could never decide on what concepts to prove, so it basically sits idle all the time. I went to sign on this afternoon to check the logs, etc., and I couldn't connect to the System. All connections time out. A ping times out, as well. So I logged on via the HMC -> Operating System Messages. There were some errors, so I performed a SHUTDOWN -R NOW, and it shut down cleanly, and restarted. Everything appears to have restarted successfully, but I still can't connect. Pings, both in from my PC and out from the Linux system, time out. An ifconfig eth0 shows the network interface to be configured with the correct ip address and net mask. So, I am puzzled, and somewhat lost on what to do next. I know it's not a problem with the OSA Card, as it is shared with other LPARs, and is working just fine. All ideas and suggestions welcomed. But please keep in mind, the only access I have is via the HMC -> Operating System Messages, which means no cut & paste, etc. Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.
