defines a CU image by its control unit address, which can be 00 to FE for FICON/zHPF connectivity.
FICON/zHPF connectivity can be used with CU types 2105 (2105-F20 or later) and 2107.
CAUTION: The following are cautions when using IOCP or HCD:
• When multiple LPARs/mainframes can access the volumes, use FEATURE=SHARE for the
devices.
• Up to 16,384 addresses per physical interface are allowed by MVS with FICON/zHPF
channels. Multiple groups of FICON/zHPF channels may be used to access the maximum of
65,280 devices that can be configured using 255 control unit images (CUADD=00 through
CUADD=FE in the CNTLUNIT statement).
The following example shows a sample IOCP definition for a storage system configured with:
• 2105 ID
• Four FICON/zHPF channel paths. Two channels paths are connected to a FICON switch.
Two channel paths are directly connected to the storage system.
• Six control unit images (00–05) with 256 LVIs per control unit
• 64 base addresses and 128 alias addresses per CU 00, 01, 02, and 03
• 128 base addresses and 128 alias addresses per CU 04 and 05

Hardware definition using HCD (MVS/ESA)
The HCD utility can be used to define the storage system in an MVS/ESA environment. The HCD
procedures for 2105 controller emulation types are described as follows. FICON/zHPF interface
requires 2105-F20 emulation or 2107.
2105 Controller Emulation: To define a storage system CU image and the base and alias address
range that it will support, use the following example for HCD.
