The FCP card(under CHPIDS, select chpid, select advance facilities, should
say fcp.
The error is probably in the switch. be sure switch is not set to FC-al,
but for point-point, and autosense.

The main difference between our definitions (which appear to work) and
yours are that yours do not have a PCHID= parameter on the CHPID
statements. We run a z/890 and the PCHID= parameter is required. I'm
not sure about the requirements of the z/800 since I don't have any
experience with it nor do I have an IOCP User's Guide for that box.
Good luck.

Subject: iocp /fcp question
We are trying to get an FCP link set up from a Z/800 IFL to an ESS
800 via a QLOGIC SANBOX 5600 switch.
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.
