Off the top of my head, I believe you have to tell VTAM that there are separate inbound and outbound paths between the two nodes. Sounds like you're configuration has forced your links to be half-duplex.

I have a shared Escon channel used as CTC between 2 Lpars. The CTC is used for XCF and VTAM communication. For XCF there are 2 Devices defined on each system (in and out) and for VTAM there is 1 device defined on each system. Looking on RMF report I see the following info: Channel utilization is low - about 10% Device Disconnect time for the IN device (on both systems) is huge - about 5000ms (the out devices numbers are fine). The in device utilization is almost at all time near 100%. I don't think that this is a normal situtation, but except from GRS delay for XCF (about 5%) It doesn't seemes to have any performance effect or am I wrong? Any help would be appricated.
