RE: Virtual Ethernet and NFS Image Catalogs

Ahh, I think we might have found some of the problem then. When storage
and optical are mixed, it tends to really limit your options.

Are you at POWERUp19 next week? If so maybe I can help you get the NFS set
up.

One of the reasons I dislike the virtual optical support vs. the NFS
approach is each time the NWSD is varied off/on it "might" create a
new virtual optical resource on the target (hosted) system.

I probably ought to give the NFS approach a try. That was the approach I
was intending to use when I heard of the virtualized virtual optical
approach.

To combat that problem, I almost always remove all the virtual optical
devices on the target and then recreate them by vary off/on the NWSD
from the host.

I hadn't thought of that method to clean up the virtualized optical drives
on the guests. I'll keep that in mind when I finish cleaning up the NWSD's.
Right now I have two LPARs with DASD NWSDs that are also virtualizing
optical drives.
