Hello Paul

On the HMC, I created virtual Ethernet, one on the source, one on the new, both set to VLAN 11.
(cut)


chsysstate -o on -k manual -m Server-9009-42A-SNxxxx -n Pencor08 DSLO -i d -f Pencor08 DSLO -r lpar --ip 10.5.n.n --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 172.17.23.5 --serverip 172.17.23.5 --serverdir /V7R4OS --duplex auto --mtu 1500

I believe there is a pure network issue here. The gateway must be in the same subnet as the IP address that you assign to "Pencor08 DSLO" LPAR.
--gateway must be in 10.5.n.n./255.255.255.0 subnet

If you want to keep the addresses like you wrote, you must have a real router in this subnet, able to route to --serverip 172.17.23.5

If both --ip and --serverip are in the same subnetwork, as VLAN 11 used for both, looks to confirm, you should try to assign an unused address to -ip, in the same subnet as --serverip such as 172.17.23.6. Then, the --gateway can be any IP address in the same subnet, it will never be used, still because --ip and --serverip are in the same subnet.

Something like (no need to specify --duplex and --mtu in my opinion):

chsysstate -o on -k manual -m Server-9009-42A-SNxxxx  -n Pencor08 DSLO -i d -f Pencor08 DSLO -r lpar --ip 172.17.23.6 --netmask yourmask --gateway 172.17.23.5 --serverip 172.17.23.5 --serverdir /V7R4OS
