Hi John, I also had a hard time setting up n-to-n CTC connections, but I tried to document how it is done for others, here: http://www.sinenomine.net/node/265
>From its blurb on SineNomine: "This document describes a cookbook example of how to configure ESCON CTC connections between LPARs on a single zSeries system. It demonstrates how to plan and code the necessary IOCP statements to interconnect multiple LPARs" Once again, I thank SineNomine for hosting it.
