The main difference between our definitions (which appear to work) and yours are that yours do not have a PCHID= parameter on the CHPID statements. We run a z/890 and the PCHID= parameter is required. I'm not sure about the requirements of the z/800 since I don't have any experience with it nor do I have an IOCP User's Guide for that box.
Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Greve Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 3:39 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: iocp /fcp question We are trying to get an FCP link set up from a Z/800 IFL to an ESS 800 via a QLOGIC SANBOX 5600 switch. The IOCP definition is as follows: CHPID PATH=12,PARTITION=(IFL),TYPE=FCP CHPID PATH=13,PARTITION=(IFL),TYPE=FCP CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=1200,PATH=(12),UNIT=FCP CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=1300,PATH=(13),UNIT=FCP IODEVICE ADDRESS=(1200,64),CUNUMBR=(1200),UNIT=FCP IODEVICE ADDRESS=(1300,64),CUNUMBR=(1300),UNIT=FCP When we activate the CHPID on the service console the CHPIDs indicate ONLINE, DEDICATED, NOT ISOLATED, DEFINITION ERROR. The details screen for the CHPID indicate it is a Fibre Channel Converted CHPID Type. The hardware folks say the definition error indicates a mismatch between the Chpid Type and the IOCP definition. The ESS 800 connects to the switch without any problems. Is there something missing in our IOCP definition or is the CHPID misconfigured in some way? Thanks for any suggestions.
