Carlos, z10 with ESS800 should work fine point-to-point. That config was tested a lot here in Poughkeepsie. We don't have a ds4700. It should work though.
There is some configuration that needs to be done inside linux. You need to tell linux which busid (device number), target wwpn, and lun to use. If you are using Suse, yast has a nice setup wizard. Have you done any configuration inside of Linux? The output of lszfcp -D, and lsscsi would be helpful. If you are using edevs, then you need to tell vm which device number, target wwpn, and lun to use.

We did some tests that are describe below: 1 - Connect z10 to shark 800 sw2 adapter with both sides defined as Ficon. Works fine 2 - Connect z10 to shark 800 sw2 adapter with both sides defined as FCP. Direct connection, no switch envolved. Didn´t work. We aren´t able to define open system storage in ESS Specialist. Seems that shark doesn´t "see" FCP adapter in z10. After reading some material (redbooks) we found information about that a direct connection didn´t work. Is mandatory use a switch. 3 - Connect z10 to shark 800 sw2 adapter with both sides defined as FCP and using an old IBM 2109-S16. Didn´t work. We aren´t able to define open system storage in ESS Specialist. Seems that shark doesn´t "see" FCP adapter in z10. 4 - Connect z10 to shark 800 sw2 adapter with both sides defined as FCP and using an IBM 2005-B16. Didn´t work. We aren´t able to define open system storage in ESS Specialist. Seems that shark doesn´t "see" FCP adapter in z10. 5 - Connect z10 to DS4700 via FC adapter with z10 define as FCP and storage defined as FC and using an old IBM 2109-S16. Didn´t work. We aren´t able to access open dasd. We checked microcode level for shark and seems to be ok. If I connect shark or DS4700 to an intel server, we are able to access open dasd without problems. Since z10 with FCP access is new for us, any hint or tip about are welcome. Thanks in advance. -- Carlos Bodra IBM zSeries Certified Specialist Sao Paulo - Brazil
