Hi, Arturo is correct that you can define one or both of the OSA ports that you will get with the new OSA "card". You will need to find out what PCHIDs will be assigned to those ports so that you can correctly define them with the CHPIDs. You should be able to get the PCHID numbers from your SSR or sales rep.
Also, do you mean that you have one ESCON channel (CHPID) remaining or did you mean that there is one slot remaining which is where the new OSA card will be placed? ESCON and OSA are two separate channel types and they come on separate cards. The OSA card has two ports (or CHPIDs) per card. The ESCON card has 16 ports per card (15 are useable, 1 is a spare). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
