Yes. I have done this. The biggest obstacle I found was the naming conventions and HCD definition.
BTW. The 4 chpids are shared across all LPARs at the IODF level Only 2 physical paths are needed. Each physical path is bi-directional. i.e. the input from LPARB to LPARA is the output from LPARA to LPARB. This is handled by using different device addresses in the PATHIN/PATHOUT statements in SYS1.PARMLIB(COUPLExx) I last did this circa 2009, so the details are fuzzy, but it can be done. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Brian Westerman Sent: Thursday, June 4, 2020 2:22 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Base SYSPLEX setup [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization.
