Dave,
Do you have access to the ASCII console for that LPAR.
(I don't know if SLES11 SP1 has the entry in /etc/inittab that activates it. It
would make life simpler.)
I don't have any LPARS running SLES11 SP1, but I do have 3 running SLES10 SP4.
The line on my SLES10 system looks like this:
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS1 linux
I think the important part is the ttyS1.
(To get access, you could try the echo >> command to append the necessary line
on /etc/inittab).
Meanwhile,
Do you get something that looks like this when you boot..
eth0 name: IBM OSA Express Network card (0.0.0700)
eth0 IP address: 10.80.200.126/24
eth0 is up
(This is from a SLES11 SP1 linux guest talking to a z/vm vswitch. A OSA
adapter looks similar.) A SLES10 OSA looks like this.
eth3 configuration: qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a104
eth3 IP address: 10.80.200.224/24
eth3 done

Subject: Can't Connect to Linux LPAR
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
