Filipe, Neale, Mike, Can you offer some advice? I'm having trouble getting my PRM file to work. Based on this thread, and others, here's what I've coded:
ro ramdisk_size=40000 cio_ignore=all,!condev root=live:http://141.202.207.39/redhat/rh7/zseries/ga/images/install.img inst.repo=http://141.202.207.39/redhat/rh7/zseries/ga rd.dasd=0.0.0201 nameserver=141.202.1.108 rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0C00,0.0.0C01,0.0.0C02,layer2=0,portname=intranet,portno=0 ip=141.202.200.124::141.202.200.101:24:linux024.ca.com:enccw0.0.0C00:none The NIC is really at 0C00 and if I attempt to boot RH 6 the network works as expected. If I query the VSwitch I see that the server (LINUX024) hasn't got the network setup (unlike LINUX044). So I've got to be missing something in the last two lines of the PRM file. I think. cp q vswitch intranet details VSWITCH SYSTEM INTRANET Type: VSWITCH Connected: 22 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-C3-00-00-01 State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Isolation Status: OFF Portname: OSD010 RDEV: 6100.P00 Controller: TCPIPOSA VDEV: 0900 VSWITCH Connection: MAC address: 34-40-B5-A8-4B-3C RX Packets: 850953 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 227613 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 408127130 TX Bytes: 48961637 Device: 0900 Unit: 000 Role: DATA vPort: 0001 Index: 0001 Adapter Connections: Adapter Owner: LINUX024 NIC: 0C00.P00 Name: UNASSIGNED Adapter Owner: LINUX044 NIC: 0C00.P00 Name: INTRANET RX Packets: 1310 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 TX Packets: 743 Discarded: 0 Errors: 0 RX Bytes: 208685 TX Bytes: 61919 Device: 0C02 Unit: 002 Role: DATA vPort: 0070 Index: 0070 Options: Broadcast Multicast IPv6 IPv4 VLAN Unicast IP Addresses: 141.202.200.20 MAC: 02-00-C3-00-00-1C Multicast IP Addresses: 224.0.0.1 MAC: 01-00-5E-00-00-01 Here's the last few lines from the console. I'm hoping you see something I've missed.
