Richard, I'm a little confused as to exactly what you are trying to do here.
You seem to be confusing FICON with Fibre Channel - they're different. If you want to connect the 3592 to a zSeries mainframe via FICON, then you have to define it (and then it's tape drives)to the mainframe (and operating systems) using HCD (Hardware Configuration Dialog). You may have to load a new IOCP, which requires a power-on-reset. Then you'll need a FICON cable (make sure it's the correct type, there are shortwave & longwave types) to plug into the FICON port on the m/f and the 3592. I'm not aware you need to do anything on the controller itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
