Afternoon Ron, I get a message at the very end of the boot cycle that says:
"Welcome to SUSE Linux ... Kernal 2.6.32.36-0.5-default (ttys0)." And for eth0, I see: eth0 name: OSA Express Network card (0.0.0530) eth0 IP address: 157.145.4.160/22 followed by a SuSEfirewall2 not active message and then eth0 ..done I never see a 'is up' message. 0530 is the correct device base address for the OSA and the IP address is correct. Could it be so simple that what i need to do is a ifup command? If so, why. It used to works... Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

(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 Ron Foster Baldor Electric Company 5711 R S Boreham Jr Street Fort Smith, AR 72901 Phone:479-648-5865 Fax:479-646-5440 Email: [email protected] www.baldor.com ________________________________________ From: Linux on 390 Port [[email protected]] on behalf of David Stuart [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 3:53 PM To: [email protected] 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 Dave Stuart Prin. Info.
