Recovery Considerations

When planning for recovery, consider the following I/O configuration guidelines.
v Assign channel paths to LPs as described in "Guidelines for Setting Up the I/O
v Review the recoverability characteristics of the I/O configuration described in the

PR/SM Planning Guide
these channel paths must be defined as reconfigurable in the IOCP CHPID
statement. You cannot move a channel path from an LP in one CSS to an LP in
another CSS.
If you do, then specify these channel paths as SHARED in the IOCP CHPID
statement. Doing this, helps reduce the number of channel paths configured to
a physical control unit and device. Make sure that the channel path type
supports being shared.
If you do, then define these channel paths as spanned by specifying multiple
CSS IDs in the PATH keyword of the IOCP CHPID statement. Doing this further
helps reduce the number of channel paths configured to a physical control unit
and device. Make sure that the channel path type supports being spanned.
