Hello Mike, Well you can define both OSA ports, there is no relation between the OSA ports and an ESCON channel, if your processor has enough capacity for the new card (i'm assuming yes) then you already have 2 new CHPIDs for each one of the OSA ports and you can proceed with the definitions, but if you still want to define just one you can do it without any problem or limitation, for example:
CHPID PATH=(CSS(0,1),0A),SHARED, * NOTPART=((CSS(0),(A0D,A0E,A0F),(=)),(CSS(1),(A1C,A1D,A1E,A1F), * (=))),PCHID=110,TYPE=OSD CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=E200,PATH=((CSS(0),0A),(CSS(1),0A)),UNIT=OSA IODEVICE ADDRESS=(E200,015),CUNUMBR=(E200),UNIT=OSA IODEVICE ADDRESS=E20F,UNITADD=FE,CUNUMBR=(E200),UNIT=OSAD CHPID PATH=(CSS(0,1),0B),SHARED, * NOTPART=((CSS(0),(A0D,A0E,A0F),(=)),(CSS(1),(A1C,A1D,A1E,A1F), * (=))),PCHID=310,TYPE=OSD CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=2D80,PATH=((CSS(0),0B),(CSS(1),0B)),UNIT=OSA IODEVICE ADDRESS=(2D80,015),UNITADD=00,CUNUMBR=(2D80),UNIT=OSA IODEVICE ADDRESS=2D8F,UNITADD=FE,CUNUMBR=(2D80),UNIT=OSAD Here is where the distintion between ESCON and the OSA is visible the CHPID TYPE for the OSA is OSD (in this case for QDIO, for NO-QDIO the type has to be OSE). The example is for a z9 or z990 processor (for a z900 the definitions is more simple). For the real CHPIDs to be user you can found them from your HMC console or from the channel path layout (it's a hardcopy report that comes with your processor) but to be more accureat search for the in the HMC console or ask to the HW person that install the new card to provide you the CHPIDs Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
