Yes, You can use only the two chpids to connect all the partitions. Use the Shimon doc to design all the conections. With FICON, no need to define Chpids as CNC/CTC, all must be FC. And the Control Units and IODEVICE can be FCTC.
"Shimon Lebowitz wrote a very nice paper on how to do this with ESCON channels; the FICON configuration is less complicated, but Shimon covers that discussion too. http://www.sinenomine.net/node/265"; ______________________________________________ Clovis From: Crispin Hugo <crispin.h...@macro4.com> To: IBMVM@listserv.uark.edu Date: 20/07/2011 09:21 Subject: Re: Ficon CTC's between LPAR's in same Box Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@listserv.uark.edu> Typo CSE Crispin Hugo Systems Programmer Macro 4 Limited Direct Line: +44 (0)1293 872121, Switchboard: +44 (0)1293 872000, Fax: +44 (0)1293 872001 A Division of the UNICOM Group of Companies www.macro4.com Macro 4 Registered office :The Orangery, Turners Hill Road, Worth, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 4SS Registered in England no. 927588 Please consider the environment and THINK before you print this email.

I can’t use Hipersocket as I am having to ‘play’ with CSI in z/VM. I can’t buy a switch so I will try the port to port route. Am I right to assume, if I am clever(?) with the configuration, I could connect all 15 LPARS to each other with CTC’s ?
