Code has been updated to add support for specification of the LUN optional after the first path has been established. The following documentation changes have been made. SC24-6268-06 z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference SET EDEVICE command The following note has been added regarding the LUN operand The LUN operand is required when you define the first path to an EDEVICE. For subsequent paths, the LUN operand is optional. If you specify the LUN operand, the value must match the LUN on the first path. Response 8 has also been added To define an emulated device 5004 for a 2145 device with two paths where LUN is optional on the second path, enter the following: set edev 5004 type fba attr 2145 fcp_dev 800 wwpn 200400A0B80BA687 lun 0002000000000000 fcp_dev 801 wwpn 200400A0B80BA688 EDEV 5004 was created. Ready; GC24-6270-06 z/VM: CP Messages and Codes HCP8703E A third variation of message HCP88703E has been added. - Variation 3 The LUN lun specified does not match the LUN that is already associated with EDEV rdev. Explanation: A path was specified with the SET EDEVICE command or EDEVICE system configuration statement and the LUN does not match the LUN that is already associated with the EDEVICE. System action: The path is not added to the emulated device definition. System operation continues. User response: Issue a CP QUERY EDEVICE command to determine the LUN associated with the EDEVICE. Issue a CP SET EDEVICE command with the correct LUN. If the EDEVICE was incorrectly defined in the system configuration file, update the LUN in the EDEVICE system configuration statement. ×**** PE21/08/02 FIX IN ERROR. SEE APAR VM66555 FOR DESCRIPTION
