Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users IPLing guests from SCSI LUNs via IPL * * LOADDEV or IPL DUMPDEV. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** Support has been added to allow the specification of up to three alternate paths (subchannel identifiers and port names) to be used by IPL LOADDEV or IPL DUMPDEV for SCSI LUNs. The alternate paths can be designated using the SCSI forms of the SET LOADDEV and SET DUMPDEV commands or User Directory LOADDEV statement. Alternate path definitions are reported by QUERY LOADDEV and QUERY DUMPDEV. If an IPL is not successful using the primary device path or if that device is not available then each alternate device path is automatically considered in turn until either an IPL is successful or all alternates have been considered.
