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.
