ICP354I **CAUTION** MINIMUM NUMBER OF DEVICES HAVE NOT BEEN DEFINED FOR [CHPID xx IN CSS y | THE CHANNEL PATHS IN CSS x IN CONTROL UNIT yyyy]

Explanation

You did not define the minimum number of devices recommended for a coupling facility channel path or control unit. CFP, CBP, and ICP channel paths (TYPE keyword) assigned to a control unit must have a minimum of seven devices each on most CPCs but on some CPCs, ICP channel paths should have a minimum of eight devices each. CIB channel paths assigned to a control unit must have a minimum of seven devices each which is what IOCP tests but some adapters have a minimum of 32 devices.CL5 and CL6 channel paths assigned to a control unit must have a minimum of eight devices each, but IBM recommends that 32 be defined. CS5 channel paths assigned to a control unit must have a minimum of eight devices each. CFS and CBS channel paths must have a minimum of two devices each. If the message is for channel path xx in CSS y, the channel path is a CFS or CBS channel path and does not have a control unit. If the message is for the channel paths in CSS x in control unit yyyy, the minimum number of devices necessary to fully support the channel paths in CSS x in the control unit were not defined. See Coupling facility channels section to determine the correct number of devices to define for your hardware type.
