Jim:
I think you misunderstood my question: the zVM "system" must
"own" one side of the CTC - otherwise an ACTIVATE ISLINK cannot succeed.
There is no SVM involved. Defining the side belonging to the guest
machine is the piece that I know; defining the side for the "system" is
the part I cannot figure out.
As a further complication, we also need to use a virtual CTC
between two VMs running on different processors - is that doable?

In the directory for your 2nd level guest you would have:
SPECIAL 0D90 FCTC 1stlevelSVM
For your other 1st level SVM:
SPECIAL 0F11 FCTC 2ndlevelguestid
The on both issue a COUPLE command because you may not know which is
second:
CP COUPLE 0D90 1stlevelSVM 0F11
And
CP COUPLE 0F11 2ndlevelguestid 0D90
The on the 2nd level system ATTACH the CTC to the SVM needing it.
You need not do FCTC, look at the DEFINE command for the type of CTC you
desire.

Subject: Defining virtual CTCAs
All:
I have the need to define a virtual CTC between a first-level
zVM machine and a 2nd-level zVM machine. This is in order to activate
ISLINK between those two machines.
Since the virtual CTCs need to "belong" to the z/VM "system" I
am at a loss as to how to do this. Can anyone help lift the fog?
