I do all of my IOGEN work from z/OS so my answer is partly base on z/OS HCD. I defined two control units on the one channel. The first control unit had 8 devices and the second has another 8 devices.
Control Unit List Row 1 of 2 Select one or more control units, then press Enter. To add, use F11.

Paul Feller AIT Mainframe Technical Support -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Hughes, Jim Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 4:37 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: z10, z/VM 5.4 and OSA Express 3 We have a new Z10 with 2 four port OSA Express 3 cards and 1 two port OSA Express cards. I am a little confused about the IOCP for these devices. I am reading the IOCP manual and I am a little confused about having two ports on a card. Would I define one CNTLUNIT and one IODEVICE for each pair of ports? If so, would the address.Pnn come into play with Pnn being 00 or 01 for the port number? I am referring to the DEFINE VSWITCH command. Continuing on, if the above is true, could I put 64 addresses on a single IODEVICE statement and the use the Pnn format of the DEFINE VSWITCH RDEV statement to control the addresses I use on each of the two ports? Example: RDEV E000.P00 and RDEV E010.P01 I hope my question makes sense. Regards, ____________________ James R.
