Hi Roland, Well, if the 2003-204 is anything like our 2003-225, then you have some work to do. First, VM/ESA 2.3 should run just fine; we ran it for several years before upgrading to z/VM 3.1. You can forget the old IOCP from the Hitachi box, or any IOCP from another shop.
The problem here is that the CHPID numbers on the 2003 start at x'40' and go up, with some skips (e.g. No x'4F'). Have your hardware guy cable up the equipment the way it makes most sense to him, and create a basic IOCP. I assume you are using the internal dasd. As per Rob van der Heij, have your hardware guy set them up as 3390-3. You will also get some small volumes in this configuration, watch out for them. They can be useful later, but will be a pain right now. IPL standalone ICKDSF from your backup tapes and format all the volumes. Use standalone DDR to restore your backups. Try IPLing your system residence volume when you have finished the restores. If you are lucky, and the customer used sensible VM configuration options, you should get at least OPERATOR up, and maybe the whole system.

I hope the computer room manager would have a picture of the old machine configuration showing how the devices are connected to the Hitachi. With that, the installer can put a basic IOCP on the MP2003-204's storage element. As I know of on the Hitachi: DASD are on 200-23F Tapes are on 320 to 32F. Good luck to me!
