Re: DASD Only Plex
If the CHPIDs are shared, except for CTC CUs and Devices, why add new CUs and Devices? Via the HCD panels you should be able to get by with the following: Define, modify, or view configuration data, Processors, Work with partitions, Add, Enter Partition name, etc. and Update CHPID Access and Candidate Lists.

This sounds like you hit the limit of logical paths the the Dasd control unit supports. I would check with your disk vendor to see what that limit is. You can verify that this is the problem by varying off 1 of the paths from a working system and then varying on the path from the failing system. If this works than for sure that is the problem.

Re: DASD Only Plex
I do not really understand the question, but it sounds like the new system should have identical access to the channels, etc. I would research the Channel Path Access/Candidate Lists for any problems. You should be able to obtain a Channel Path Summary Report by selecting the following from the HCD panels: Print or compare configuration data, Print configuration reports, CSS report and CSS summary reports. Be aware devices can also have Candidate Lists.

Re: DASD Only Plex
I must confess I don't quite understand your situation. Are you adding an additional LPAR to the configuration or are you adding additional disk to each of the current LPARs in the configuration? Which (or both) is it? Rex Jimmy Wagner wrote: >We have a 6 LPAR DASD only sysplex. We need to add a new LPAR to the >configuration.
