For redundancy's sake, we are purchasing another OSA-Express card soon. The issue is that we only have one free ESCON channel available and the OSA card requires two (one for each port). The manuals seem to assume that you're going to define the pair at the same time. My question is, can I just define one port and leave the other port undefined until such time as another channel frees up?
Yes, you can define only one OSA chpid, not two. However, I don't understand what does it mean 'ESCON channel available'. Do you mean free ESCON port or free CHPID ? ESCON port is totally unrelated. You can have free ports, or no. Free chpid number means, you have many channels: close to 256 CHPIDs. In that case it is related to new OSA. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
