While both the storage are connected to mainframe can I point one of the lpar to the new box DS8910F and ipl it ? We have two zOS LPARS in mainframe and I want to try IPL one of the LPARs pointing to DS8910F. Out of the 6 channels . The 4 channels are connected to DS8886 and 2 channels are connected to DS8910F. Is it possible to make the 4 channels offline prior loading the loading the LPAR and have them point to 2 channels which are connected to DS8910F ?
