Really? Wouldn't a FICON channel that is being used for CTC between LPARs need to have *both* ends attached to FICON cards in the computer, the way an ESCON CTC is built? How could it connect LPARs if one end goes to DASD or TAPE?
I do not yet have FICON (till next month....) but I am interested in learning!
