Thanks. But I see from the other replies that I was correct: OSA cards vary in their capabilities. Exactly what a given card can and cannot do depends on a number of factors.

SA22-7990 is the OSA/ICC User's Guide, SA22-7935 is the OSA-Express customer guide and reference. I pulled these from the z/OS 1.7 document CDs so I don't have a URL for them. In addition is the Redbook that Chris pointed out.

According to the OSA/ICC user's guide, you define an ICC as type OSC in the HCD. That being the case, we have 2 OSA-Express cards in our z9BC. Each of these is being used with 1 port being defined as OSD and the other port is defined as OSC. We are running our TCP/IP traffic through the OSD ports on both OSA cards and are pushing our console traffic to the OSC ports on each card. We are sharing both the OSC and OSD ports across 3 LPARs. Rex Unfortunately I can't respond directly to Gadi's question as I don't have the answer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
