I raised the protocol question at an IRD pitch at SHARE back when we were first getting into FICON. The answer was that customers didn't seem very interested FICON support. When I got back to the ranch, I learned why. FICON is so darned fast that switching resources from one LPAR to another hardly seemed worth the trouble. It was cheaper and easier just to add a few more channels.
Now that FICON cascading is fully functional, there's even less reason to make a fuss. . .
