z/VM TCP/IP VSWITCH Maintenance
Virtual Switch Controller Maintenance Levels
The z/VM TCP/IP stack plays an important role in the Virtual Switch.
It initializes the OSA-Express device used by the VSWITCH, and
continues to communicate with the OSA-Express
as the status changes, such as
when a new guest host couples to the virtual switch.
For this reason, maintenance of the TCP/IP stack is important to
virtual switch operation.
If you are using virtual switches, you need to stay
current with
CP maintenance
for the virtual switch.
How to determine your current Maintenance Level
- Use the QUERY VSWITCH command to identify the name of the
virtual switch controller.
- Use the
NETSTAT TCP controller LEVEL command to display
information
about the TCPIP MODULE. Controller is the name of the
virtual switch controller from step 1.
- Use the
TCPSLVL TCPIP MODULE fm command for the TCPIP MODULE
in use by controller.
In the display
look for the latest APAR applied to
TCTOOSD, which is of particular interest for virtual switch
controllers.
