Kevin, The problem was not so much "it makes no sense" as it was a fault from the hardware guys. The cable for 13 was plugged into the wrong director. The directoraddress on director 1 points to the hardware where dasd VM2076 is located. The same address on director 2 does point to the correct dasd, address 3312 volser SU3312. So basically the address 3312 from VM points to two different real disks. To 3312 on channel 10, 11 and 12. To 5312 (beeing VM2076) on channel 13. Once the cable 13 was plugged into director 2 we only saw 3312 even when we varried off all other paths. The IOCDS was/is still correct.
The problem now is that others say VM was at fault here for not reacting on this error. Regards, Berry
