Shared devices using unshared channels

When coding an IOCP input file, the following specifications are allowed:
  • Duplicate device numbers can be specified within a single IOCP input file, if device numbers are not duplicated within an LP.
  • You can assign a maximum of eight channel paths from each LP to a device.

    Device sharing among LPs is accomplished by attaching multiple channel paths from each LP to a device.

The following section illustrates IOCP coding for IOCDSs when shared devices on unshared channels and duplicate device numbers are specified.
