Our config would have an } address 3312 and when I write to this address I'd expect to write to 3312 } and not to a random other dasd as we did in this case. To me it seemds like } I do not have control on where my writes are placed. Perhaps because VM will } dynamically direct an IO to one of the channels? I am not sure if this is done any more, but if you wanted 2 OS or VSE systems to share a volume with thier using native sharing controls, so if you had a disk at address "C0" that could be gotten to by channels "9" and "E", instead of defining it as 1 disk with 2 paths, you defined it as 2 disks, "9C0" and "EC0" and attach them to the 2 guests. Your problem was a cableing error that VM has no means to detect. -- Rich Greenberg N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time zone.
