Hi Dave, Reading your note again, I realize that I missed your question: >The comment above "If the CHPID was assigned properly" makes me wonder... >do I have to do any DEFINE for CHPID/PATH/DEVICE on zVM >before I DEFINE NIC AND COUPLE.
No. I meant the CHPID assignment that should be done by CP DEFINE NIC in the z/OS guest virtual machine. If the CHPID 03 had been omitted from the DEFINE NIC command you would have found some other CHPID assigned in the DISPLAY SCHIB response. If CHPID 03 had been specified, but was already in use for another device in your z/OS guest virtual machine, the DEFINE NIC command would have failed. I don't think the DEFINE NIC failed because your QUERY LAN response indicates that the guest is coupled. Regards, Dennis Musselwhite ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM z/VM Development -- CP Network Simulation
