Karl, 'm not a DS6800 expert, but I can tell you that the SM PC does not have to be identified to the z10, as the z10 doesn't talk to it. If it is a FICON attachment (vs. FC), then you will need to have activated the FICON Attachment feature on the controller and the usual FICON configuration tasks are needed. In particular, it means you need to have used the SM to configure the FICON ports on the controller.
