We have FICON CTCs in production and the look like 1 address per system .
Collection of 6 system means each system does 5 CP ACTIVATE xxxx and 5 things
show up in the Q ISLINK.
We just replaced some ESCON CTCs with FICON CTCs in a development collection of
3 systems.
The only way it would work is 2 addresses per system (and in and an out) (so 4
total on each system). So it looks something like this:
q islink
Link: FD10 Type: CTCA
Node: TD6VM Bytes Sent: 53317
State: Up Bytes Received: 53076
Buffer Count: 16 Status: Idle
Link: FDA0 Type: CTCA
Node: Bytes Sent: 19667
State: Down Bytes Received: 19454
Buffer Count: 16 Status: Idle
Link: FE10 Type: CTCA
Node: Bytes Sent: 18531
State: Down Bytes Received: 23217
Buffer Count: 16 Status: Idle
Link: FEA0 Type: CTCA
Node: TEFVM Bytes Sent: 44940
State: Up Bytes Received: 44940
Buffer Count: 16 Status: Idle
And while it says State: Down on the ones with a blank Node: , clearly it's
not since the byte counts keep increasing...
So what I think we have created a 2 lane road instead of a single...
I can't find anything in the 5.4 doc that suggests it will work like this. But
clearly it is working...
This is 5.4 at RSU 1002 + some SPEs.
