I searched IBM-MAIN on this topic and see some discussion from a couple of years ago, so I'm hoping someone will be able to help us. We have a z10 in which I have defined 2 FCP chpids on our FICON Express8 cards. These chpids have NPIV enabled and I have provided the open system team with the WWPN's that were generated. The FCP chpids are dedicated to our 1 Linux IFL. We have connected the fiber, but the chpid, while staying ONLINE, gets a SEQUENCE TIME-OUT on the HMC. The light is on on the mainframe side, but not on the switch. The open system team tells me that there is nothing for them to do on their side until they can "see" the mainframe (light comes on?). In z/VM, the chips appear fine, defined as FCP with devices attached and FREE. I'm not sure what else I can do from the mainframe side to help the situation? HELP!
