Alan Ok, I think I'm looping here ;-)
Two questions. First, how does this statement from the TCPIP Planning and Config quide relate to how I define the IOCP statements? >********************************************************************** > >maybe it's 'cause you are trying to attach ctc and cnc type chpids? > >also from TCPIP Planning and Config: >If you are using HCD on OS/390 or z/OS, these devices must be defined >as "CTCA" on the VM side, and "SCTC" on the OS/390 or z/OS side" >David >*********************************************************************** >Not. VM TCP/IP supports 3088/ESCON/FICON CTCAs in extended mode. You >must code one end of the connection as TYPE=CTC and the other end as >TYPE=CNC. Code UNIT=SCTC on both ends. If you code UNIT=BCTC, then the >attempt by TCP/IP to switch the adapter to extended mode is ignored >(no-op) and things will go rapidly downhill. No I/O error (i.e. Command >Reject), but a link that doesn't operate correctly. > > >Alan Altmark >z/VM Development >IBM Endicott Question two, Isn't this what we have in the IOCP etc. (which is giving us the unit checks) from our original posting? If not, what are we not seeing? Thanks for trying to untangle my old synapses. ;-) Ron Greve ************************************************************************ Here are our current IOCP definitions again along with the attach . and LINK/DEVICE statements.
