Hi all,
we have Problems with using our SCSI-Storage System under z/VM defined as FCP. The same Storage System works fine for our z/Linux running as a guest of this VM, so we assume that there are no errors in the definition of IOCP, HMC, FibreChannel Switch and SCSI Storage System. We are currently using z/VM 5.4 with Service Level 1101 and we can see the WWPN and LUNs of the storage when using "scsidisc". The "set edev" command does also work, but as soon as we vary the device online we receive the following error: HCPSZP8701I Path FCP_DEV 2000 WWPN 2200PPP023100017 LUN 0001000000000000 was deleted from EDEV 9000 because it is invalid. HCPCPN8700I Emulated Device 9000 cannot be varied online because HCPCPN8700I there are no valid paths defined to the device. There are no error is in the Operator console. And the same tests in z/VM 5.3 ends with: 11:51:01 HCPAXS3586E UDID mismatch for path 00006000PATH01. Function:scsi_mpio_init 11:51:01 HCPCSS3507E Thread (0x0000000001B9C148) encountered a severe error in p ers_paix_loadDevice at line 1604: EID(3) RC(0x000000 15) RSN(0x00000033) Does anyone have an idea why we receive an error in z/VM although it works under z/Linux? Of course I have to say that this is not a IBM Storage System. Does anyone have a list of Storage Systems which work with z/VM or experiences with a System which works? I think supported are only IBM 2105, 2107, 1750, 2145 and 2810 but with which other systems is it also functional even if it is not supported and/or from another vendor? Thanks, Heiko Ruck
