Description of problem: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/as-IN/Installation_Guide/s2-s390info-qeth.html # echo 1 /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0600/online should be # echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0600/online Also on the next line, there should a line break, i.e. the "1" should be on the next line. Additional info: Saw this reference on a public mailing list. It's really throwing people off when configuring networking.
In addition, the statement: To change the value of if_name, run the following command: # echo new_if_name > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0600/if_name is not correct. "if_name" is a read-only attribute and cannot be changed. The same is true for the attributes "card_type", "chpid", and "state". They should be removed from the list of "settable" attributes.
This BZ is now over a year old. Any update?
Ryan, Please ensure this gets into the RHEL5 Installation Guide - Mike
