Just thought I would mention an interesting issue we ran into with the D M=DEV command using the LINKINFO option. We are running z/OS 2.2 on two z13 boxes. We are in the process of removing our FICON connection from several FICON switches to direct connection for our DASD and TAPE devices. When we did a dynamic IOGEN change to move some of the DASD connections we noticed that the LINKINFO display still thought there was a switch in the middle of things. Naturally we did configure the channels offline/online as part of the IOGEN change. We tried the REFRESH option on the LINKINFO, but that did not fix things. We did notice an IPL did correct the display. We opened an PMR with IBM on the issue. Basically the response from IBM is they did not test (code for) the situation of removing FICON switches from the environment. The support center said they would open an APAR but it may not be fixed until the next release of z/OS.
