John, The two SVCs do different things. We use 205/206 respectively and this is what TASID shows on my system:
SVC___ Address Name____ Amode Type APF ESR NP Assist __Locks__ _Storage__ 205 CD 81B88000 DFHHPSVC 31 6 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦Ext R/W Nuc 206 CE 880F2078 31 3/4 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦Ext PLPA If you use the Storage View Facility within TASID and go to 8336e310 you should see the DFHCSVC eyecatcher. I am not exactly sure what the 2nd instance of each SVC in your display indicates. I only have a single line for each SVC.
