I have not done this personally, but your IOCP looks good to me provided your PARTITION and PATHs exist. I don't believe point to point with TYPE=FCP is supported on a z/800, but you appear to be okay there. I believe certain firmware is needed to support TYPE=FCP. Are you sure your z/800 has that firmware?

The IOCP definition is as follows: CHPID PATH=12,PARTITION=(IFL),TYPE=FCP CHPID PATH=13,PARTITION=(IFL),TYPE=FCP CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=1200,PATH=(12),UNIT=FCP CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=1300,PATH=(13),UNIT=FCP IODEVICE ADDRESS=(1200,64),CUNUMBR=(1200),UNIT=FCP IODEVICE ADDRESS=(1300,64),CUNUMBR=(1300),UNIT=FCP When we activate the CHPID on the service console the CHPIDs indicate ONLINE, DEDICATED, NOT ISOLATED, DEFINITION ERROR. The details screen for the CHPID indicate it is a Fibre Channel Converted CHPID Type. The hardware folks say the definition error indicates a mismatch between the Chpid Type and the IOCP definition. The ESS 800 connects to the switch without any problems. Is there something missing in our IOCP definition or is the CHPID misconfigured in some way? Thanks for any suggestions.
