John,  Have you reviewed the following points?

|  First line of text contains the general reason for the
 |  not operative path.
 |  Second line of text, if one exists, contains the specific
 |  reason for the not operative path.

 |  System Action: In most cases, subsequent I/O requests
 |  to the device wait until a path to the device becomes
 |  available. This message is written to SYSLOG only.

 |  Operator Response: An I/O interrupt is required to cause
 |  I/O requests to the device to be retried. Do one of the
 |  following to simulate an I/O interrupt and cause queued
 |  requests to be retried:
 |  .Enter a VARY DEVICE ONLINE command for devn
 |  .Enter a VARY PATH ONLINE command for a path to
 |   device devn
 |  .If a serial fiber is not connected, connect the serial fiber to device 
devn.

I would dump LOGREC and see if any additional info is available.

60: CHANNEL LINK LEVEL FACILITY IN OFFLINE RECEPTION
This is the case when the Channel-to-CU logical path (H/W link-level) has been 
de-established (broken).


Then I would try a new cable to see if the cable is bad.
