Hi Martha, it is not necessary to reserve some FICON Links for only CTC. You can share them for DASD, TAPE and FICON-CTC.

We are finally getting a z10 and I need to create a link between the two main LPARs. I don't have ESCON adapters in this box and I'd really hate to use up a couple of FICON just for a CTC connection between the 2 LPARs. Is there any other way to do this on a z10? Martha
