4.2.3 Defining the 9900 to VM/ESA
64 or Fewer LVIs: To define a 9900 with less than or equal to 64 LVIs to a VM/ESA
use the same procedure as for an IBM
9900 with more than 64 LVIs to VM/ESA
sharing option for the subsystem as shown below (the address range varies for each
installation).
[Address Range] TYPE DASD SHARED YES
More than 64 LVIs: To define a 9900 with more than 64 LVIs to VSE/ESA, use the same
procedure as for an IBM
more than 64 LVIs, the ADD cuu:cuu ECKD statements are the same as for the IBM
Caution: There may be APAR requirements at different versions of the VM software. In
addition, certain requirements apply when VM is supporting guests (e.g., OS/390
run 2105 native. For further information, please refer to the IBM
4.2.4

Defining the 9900 to TPF

The 9900 supports the IBM
Facility (MPLF) functions in either native mode or under VM. MPLF support requires TPF
version 4.1 or higher, and RAID-5+ and 3390-3/3R LVIs are supported. The 9900's TPF/MPLF
capability enables high levels of concurrent data access across multiple channel paths. For
further information on TPF and MPLF operations, please refer to the following IBM
documentation:
Storage Subsystem Library, 3390 Transaction Processing Facility Support RPQs, IBM
document number GA32-0134-03.
Storage Subsystem Library, 3990 Storage Control Reference for Model 6, IBM
number GA32-0274-03.
Note on 2105 emulation: There are available PTFs to implement exploitation mode for TPF
version 4.1. For further information, please refer to the IBM
