I think I'm beginning to understand the use of a SCSI formatted SHARK. If I'm correct, the devices defined in the IOCP for the FCP chpids are actua lly just communications paths to the SHARK. Any address defined on the chpid can access any LUN on the SHARK. I think my steps would be: 1) Attach the SHARK through a fiber switch to the processor. 2) Configure the SHARK with Luns that are set up as VM Host. 3) Get the WWPN from the SHARK configuration panel. 3) Update the IOCP to reflect 240 addresses on the FCP chpids. 4) Vary on the 240 addresses associated with the SHARK to VM. 5) Dedicate any unique address from the 240 addresses to the LINUX guest.
6) Update the LINUX guest with the address and WWPN. 7) If the LINUX guest is to IPL from the SCSI configured SHARK, make sure the processor has the appropriate feature installed. 8) In the CMS profile exec on the LINUX guest, set the LOADDEV with the SHARK SCSI information. 9) IPL using the dedicated address. Please feel free to correct me if I have missed significant steps or have something wrong.
