I think you're getting way off, and I am having trouble understanding your posts and figuring out what you want to do. (The odd formatting doesn't help.) Don't worry about what it was before; what do you want NOW? Start with PROFILE TCPIP. If you need two interfaces, then the profile has them. If it references F800, then you need virtual F800, F801, and F802. It doesn't matter whether it is physical (e.g. A803-A805 attached as F800-F802) or a virtual NIC (DEFINE NIC F800). If there's a second interface defined as 600, then it wants 600-602, again not caring about virtual or real. If you have the COMMAND SET VSWITCH GRANTs in the directory, then you have to use the COMMAND DEFINE NIC and COMMAND COUPLE statements instead of NICDEF because NICDEFs are processed before any COMMAND statements, creating an authorization problem.
