Your Q has already been answered. For reference only, I will add one additional point:
Starting with the newer generation of FICON features i.e. FICON Express16S+ (introduced with the z14), like previous generation of FICON features, both ports have its own PCHID and CHIPD. The keep difference is that both ports must be defined as FC or FCP. With the prior generations both ports could be FC or FCP or a mix of FC/FCP. I know when you are looking for a quick answer, reading the manual isn't very appealing. It has already been suggested that IBM Redbooks can be an a very good source for information. I strongly recommend you download and keep these handy. The key Redbooks I would recommend for Z are: 1) Technical Guide (each generation of Z System has its own) 2) The IBM Z Connectivity Handbook 3) The IBM xxx Setup Configuration (xxx = the System you have/are interested in) Of course, in addition there are lots of other Redbooks for Z, z/OS, Disk, Tapes etc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
