The 2005 SHARE presentation Conner noted makes the issues much clearer
for those of us who have never worked with FCP channels on z-boxes:
SCSI I/O using QDIO over FCP channels requires not a 2-byte device
address but all sorts of parameters to establish the I/O connections,
and Feature FC9904 app
Just a general caution (I do not know if it applies here or not):
There is a difference between "free" and "available at no charge".
That difference might come into play with respect to the license terms,
whatever they are.

Will this install on the HMC disk? Then start the Linux on the SCSI SAN?

The SE does yes.
Just so I'm clear... Your z890 plugs in to your SCSI disk box, but it won't

then it should be possible to write a small progr

AFAIK SCSI IPL was paid feature, so it would be piracy to share it.

A Luminex box can emulate CKD on SAN FBA. Does anyone have a used one
available?

I know it was a free option because I asked the price from someone at
IBM and informed me it was actually a free feature code.
But they just don't offer it anymore.

I'm not sure about terms and conditions, but possibly it is allowed to
transfer such license, so someone could give it to you from some no
longer used machine.

But the new problem is IPLing said install. I would be-able to directly
