Completely agree with you .. I might make an exception if the only FCP use is for z/VM to supply EDEVICEs -- but I haven't seen an EDEVICE-only implementation yet myself - it's always in combination with some guest attached FCPs. I have had a hard time explaining FCP/NPIV to mainframe storage teams who don't quite grok FCP subchannels and SAN zoning - and are used to FICON/DASD.. For the most part, our non-NPIV use comes from customers who set things up that way from the start, and aren't willing to do go through a conversion.
