APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
When varying on network server descriptions (NWSD), all network
server host adapters (NWSH) associated with the NWSD must be in
an active state prior to issuing the vary configuration (VRYCFG)
command.  If not, the vary on of the NWSD object will fail.




CORRECTION FOR APAR SE52769 :
-----------------------------
Support is being added for NWSD objects that have NWSH objects
with resource names of *VRT and cable connections of *DIRECT.
As part of the vary on processing for NWSD objects, any network
server host adapter (NWSH) device descriptions with a resource
of *VRT and a cable connection of *DIRECT will be varied on.
Subsequently, during the vary off processing of the NWSD, the
NWSH device descriptions with a resource of *VRT and a cable
connection of *DIRECT will be varied off.




CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE52769 :
