>>I didn't think a physical cable was require for FICON FCTC. Mark, If I understand this point, you are talking about to use a unique CHPID for a FCTC, acting as Send/Receiver. This one-channel solution needs at least one fiber cable to connect the CHPID to a Ficon Director, but could be one already in use for other devices. The solution that doesn't need any cable is Hipersocket, when the LPARs are on the same CEC. Regards, Clovis.

If you're using a FICON chpid can't you just share the CHPID and control
unit? I didn't think a physical cable was require for FICON FCTC.
