We have not resolved the problem yet - waiting for change control process. We do now understand the problem. The problem is because the OSA cards do not come with a default OAT that includes port 1. To use PORT 1 for LCS you must use OSA/SF to complete the configuration. There are 2 changes required: 1 - to the CONFIG we need to add a port name and use that same port name in the TCPIP LINK statements in our PROFILE, 2 - modify the OAT to include definitions for port 1.
The hardware definitions I modifed on Monday, it appears, will work. Adding the device with UA of FE and type OSAD was needed to use the OSA/SF facility. With the OSA/SF I was able to do a GET_CONFIG and GET_OAT for each of the CHPIDs. The required changes are staged and ready to be loaded. As soon as change control is approved and an approriate time for the change agreed upon, I think it will work. We previously had never needed to use OSA/SF and that is why our initial configuration didn't include a device with UA of FE and type OSAD. Thank you all for your input. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
