I am not sure if we are talking about the same PAV... But the one I know you would have to use static PAV and define a base and several alias devices in iocds and let the guest access tem. These would be present in Linux as multiple devices (might also require to use extended node names) that will

No I think I have the terminology correct. I run multiple virtual VLANs accessed via redundant zVM VSWITCHs connected to redundant Cisco 3550 trunk ports using HSRP. Each host within a VLAN has its own VLAN interface associated via eth0 with the VSWITCH virtual devices and the Cisco 3550
