This was the problem the OP was having.  Since the LPAR was defined as being an 
"MVS LPAR" (BTW, why should PR/SM care what OS is to be run in the LPAR?), HCD 
would not allow him to configure the FCP I/O devices onto the LPAR.  He had to 
either create a new LPAR definition, saying it was a "VM LPAR" or delete and 
redefine the existing one.

Sure, but you have to get past the first hurdle before you can even try to deal 
with these items.
