Dave, Some basic cabling things to check if the hardware and cabling was just installed too:
Verify that the 2105-800 interfaces that are connected to the z800 are Ficon ports (and not Open Systems Fiber channel) Verify that the cables used (Long Wave/Single mode/Yellow) or (Short Wave/Multimode/Orange or Turquoise blue for OM3 cable) are connected to like interface types (either LW or SW) on the 2105-800 and your z800 Ficon interfaces.

This is my first FICON IOCP, and I am having some issues. We are on a z/800 running VSE (3.1.2) under VM (5.2). The 2105-800 is attached directly to the z/800, no director. Here is the IOCP I am trying: CHPID PATH=(1E),TYPE=FC CHPID PATH=(1F),TYPE=FC CHPID PATH=(20),TYPE=FC CHPID PATH=(21),TYPE=FC ...

VM is telling me error 05F0 when I try to bring up the CHPID, configuration error. The z800 is telling me the channel is reserved due to configuration error, but I can't seem to figure out what the configuration error is. Does anything jump out at anyone that I am completely missing here? Thanks.
