Ray,
Sorry for a not so clear definition.
What happens is that we are trying to define Open System Storage in
ESS800 and when we try to allocate dasd space to z10 (open space using
FCP defined ports), ESS800 didn´t able to complete
configuration, so I can´t define a volume inside this space.
zvm was installed in eckd disks as traditional zvm does, but I´n not
trying to ipl from fcp dasd yet, since I was not able to define it yet.
Problem seems to be something missing in definitions or wrong sequence.
As I describe in previous email, ports (at ess800 and z10) and fibre
cable are ok, since if I chance ports to Ficon protocol all works fine.
A question arrised now: ports are SX (shot wave) in both sides, cable
could be same used for Ficon? Or FC demands a specific cable?

Carlos,
What do you mean by "My problem is before try to bring up zvm 5.4 or
linux under it."? I'm confused. Are you trying to SCSI IPL vm? If
you installed a vm system onto ECKD storage on an ESS800, then you
have to IPL it with your ficon channels. If you have a scsi vm
system, then use the fcp info that you installed with.
