Dave,
after reboot your OSA interfaces can be 'dead', because
1. problem in OSA-device configuration
2. just a missing gateway
After reboot invoke from the HMC-console
lsqeth -p
to check if OSA-devices are available and
route
to check if the default gateway is defined.
And what
Thanks Ron,
I have the integrated ascii console working now.

Dave,
you can try to setup a qeth device manually at your HMC console using
these steps:
1. Check with lscss, if the subchannel triplet (0.0., 0.0.xxxy,
0.0.xxxz) of your OSA-device is available.
2. Define the ccwgroup device with:
echo 0.0.,0.0.xxxy,0.0.xxxz

4. Activate the network interface:

Don't forget the default route if your PC is not on the same subnet as
the Linux guest (in most real world situations it is not)
Thanks Ursula,
I managed to get one of the connections back up and working.
The echo in step 2 failed with a message -bash: echo: write error: Invalid
argument. But I went ahead with step 3, echo 1 ... /online, and then step 4,
ifconfig eth0, and then added the default route as suggested
Ursula,
The config files you pointed out exist for both OSA ports. But I am not sure
what should be in them. Besides the ip address and netmask. I have pasted the
files for one of the OSA interfaces below. Sorry for my ignorance, but what am
I looking for? What should be in the config

Absolutely. As it is

Hi Mark,
Yes, I did. After the problem originally occurred. Both OSA interfaces were
'dead'.
And I tried again after I reviewed the interface files after going through
Ursula's procedures. After reboot, both were 'dead' again. I had to go
through Ursula's procedures again to get it

Have you gone back into YaST to switch from Network Manager to traditional
mode?
Mark Post
Mark,
I think so. Now when I go in to Yast, Network Devices, Network Card, it shows
Traditional Method with ifup as the management selection.
If I look at the interfaces through there, they look correct. However, I can
only seem to get one interface active at any given time. And it's not
David,
When you say, you have to connect to the system via the HMC, are you
talking about the operating systems messages interface or the ASCII
console interface?
You say both ports. This implies more than one interface. What is your
default route set to in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes? Is
and the operation of it,but do you have an
HMC from which you reboot/ipl from?
You should be able to go to it and activate the osa cards.
Good Luck

Hi Ron,
I am using the HMC, Operating System Messages, which limits what you can do.
I'll check out the ascii console.
Yes, I have two ports. I have two OSA/Express cards in the System. One port
on each card is ethernet, the other is OSA-ICC. The ethernet ports on both
cards are shared
have an
HMC from which you reboot/ipl from?
You should be able to go to it and activate the osa cards.
Good Luck

I doubt very much that a POR will be needed. What does ifconfig -a and

Dave,
The HMC ASCII Console is enabled inside of Linux with the following in
/etc/inittab. The mingetty line comes commented out.

I really don't think that will be needed either. Everything so far just points
to messed up configuration files.
