The OSA has 220 addresses defined on it. I created the IOCDS on z/OS. The z/OS systems only have 4 addresses defined as that's all that I have need for (per OSA - I have four OSAs). There are 5 z/OS LPARs (this defines 20 interfaces on the OSA despite the fact that the device numbers are identical in every LPAR). The z/VM LPAR has 220 addresses defined in its LPAR. There is one OSAD (unneeded for Hipersockets) defined on each LPAR. This is 240 "interfaces", if I may use that word. This is the limit for OSA "interfaces" on a single OSA-Express on a 2066-0A2 (z800) running z/OS 1.4. At least if I try to exceed 240, I get an error message out of the HCD application. So, I don't know where the 127 device limit comes from. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
