Mark, Try looking at II14241. The title says FCTC DEVICES NOT ONLINE (FOR A PREVIOUSLY KNOWN WORKING FCTC CONNECTION AFTER IPL)
Not exactly your situation but there might be some ideas.

I'm looking through a Red Book and all examples show a FICON director. I would think, that like ESCON CTC, I could just connect two FICON channels together using the appropriate cable. I defined to CHPIDs as FC created a CU on each as FCTC and added 8 devices as FCTC. I can vary on the CHPIDS, but when I vary on the devices I receive.
