I just noticed that my DTCVSW2 controller is showing Error: BACKUP Not ready
from the q vswitch command (probably not a good thing). Looks like the paths
are online. Does anybody know how to get the backup controller DTCVSW2 back
into a “ready” state (without taking an TCPIP burp or outage)? This is a z/VM
6.2 single VM system.
