Storage admin told me that both configurations (for PCHID 111 i 113) are
exactly the same... so I must believe him
but maybe I convince him to check it again ...
Is it rather a storage problem or a system z box or OS ??
The IOCP entry looks fine. I would suspect a connection problem

I am not familiar with Debian, but if this was a SUSE or REDHAT instance,

Isn't there (wasn't there?) a statement from IBM saying that direct

A couple of things stand out in your test plan that I think you should be

However, It is supported by a San Volume Controller (IBM 2145) and since
