=Comment: #0================================================= William J. Goodrich <billgo.com> - 2007-10-09 11:28 EDT Problem description: The following text was added to the RHEL5.1 release notes to describe the changes in Anaconda to provide support for installation over OSI Later2 devices. "Anaconda layer 2 Mode Enhancement Anaconda now supports connections to a VSWITCH, GuestLAN, or OSA in layer 2 mode. The installer now prompts for the mode in the initial stage of the installation. The value provided for the mode also affects the resulting network interface startup script after installation. For layer 2 installations, the value OPTIONS="layer2=1" is written to ifcfg-eth0; for layer 3, the value ARP=no is written. Note that when installing on a System z guest, you can make the mode persistent. To do so, add either LAYER2=0 or LAYER2=1 to the CMS configration file. Use LAYER2=0 when the OSA is in layer 3 mode, and LAYER2=1 when the OSA is in layer 2 mode. When specifying LAYER2=1, you can also specify VSWITCH=1 when connecting to a VSWITCH, or VSWITCH=0 when connecting directly to the OSA. If a VSWITCH is not in use, specify the MAC address in the CMS configuration file using the parameter MACADDR=<MAC address>." This text should also be added to the RHEL4.6 release notes.
added to RHEL4.6 release notes updates.
