ICP253I LINK ADDRESS MUST NOT BE SPECIFIED. CHPID xx IN CSS y DOES NOT ATTACH TO A SWITCH

Explanation

You specified a link address other than two or four asterisks (** or ****) for channel path xx in CSS y, which does not attach to a switch. FC channel paths (TYPE keyword) that do not attach to a switch must either have no link address or a link address of asterisks.

System action

IOCP continues to validate and check the syntax of the remaining statements. However, it does not generate an IOCDS and it does not produce configuration reports.

Programmer response

Delete the LINK keyword or specify a link address of two asterisks for all FC channel paths that do not attach to a switch.
