The IOCDS is only used when you perform a Power On Reset. It is used to load the hardware definition into the HSA. When you perform a hardware activate, that updates the HSA with the information from the IODF. When you perform a software activation, that updates the UCB's in the operating system that you run the software activate under. When you IPL, the IODF is read to load the UCB's for the specified OS configuration into the LPAR. You have said that the device is defined in the IODF. Is it defined to the test LPAR? When you define a device, you also define which LPAR(s) can use it. Check the device, control unit and channels. Are the channel defined as shared or dedicated? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
