qeth.ec9725 <bus ID of the qeth device>: A Bridge Port is already configured by a different operating system

Explanation

Linux instances cannot configure the target port as a Bridge Port. Another operating system already uses a Bridge Port on the HiperSockets or on the OSA adapter. For example, a z/VM instance might be using a port in a VSWITCH configuration. Multiple Bridge Ports on the same HiperSockets or OSA adapter must be configured by instances of the same operating system, for example, all Linux or all z/VM.

User response

Reconsider your network topology. Configure Bridge Ports only for ports on adapters where any other Bridge Ports are configured by other Linux instances.
