Terminology is ambiguous here, because it gets misused. A "HiperSocket" is a CHPID TYPE=IQD (or a z/VM Guest LAN defined with TYPE HIPERS). You can define up to 16 HiperSocket chpids. Each chpid can have up to 64 control units, with 256 devices (subchannels) per control unit, not to exceed 12K devices in total (for all HiperSocket chpids taken together. Because a host requires 3 devices (subchannels) to connect to a HiperSocket, you can have at most 4096 different concurrent users of all of your HiperSocket chpids, whether they are guests on z/VM or individual LPARs. > Thing is we only defined 16/CHPID and I've already run out.
