Are you running this direct or through a SAN switch? It doesn't make all that
much difference, but a SAN switch also gives you direct access to Fibre
connected tapes and such. (If your OS supports them.)
I have this on a z800 - don't know if would help you much on a z9* machine
though.
Also, check out Steve Wilkins page. Kind of VM specific, but VERY helpful.

I'm working on setting up a SHARK connected via fiber (FCP)on a z900 as a
SCSI device. Our z900 runs in basic mode (no LPARs). Is this feasible or do
you have to run in LPAR mode. Also, do you have to define an EDEVICE or just
set the loaddev? I've looked at several redbooks but haven't found exactly
what I'm looking for. Is there an example somewhere that shows setting this
up from start to end? Just a simple example showing the IOCP, HMC screens,
VM CONFIG, directory entry, etc.
