That seems to imply that the x-link part of CSE can't be on FCP attached

I thought I've read that z/VM can be installed entirely on FCP attached drives.
But I didn't read that much in detail if there were functions that wouldn't

I don't think 308x's did, but I'm not sure.
Don't get me started about the time the outsourcing company I worked for
agreed to migrate a 9370 VM/VSE customer onto a 3090
