The PPRC Establish Path request specified a FCP path (LINK) address for the secondary subsystem that is the same FCP path address as the primary subsystem. The combination of the primary subsystem WWNN and Fibre Channel adapter in the first two bytes of the path (LINK) address creates a unique WWPN for this Fibre Channel adapter. The same WWPN was created when the secondary subsystem WWNN and Fibre Channel adapter in the last two bytes of the path (LINK) address were combined. A Fibre Channel adapter can be a PPRC source or a PPRC target, but not both.
The request is rejected.
Verify the path (LINK) address(es) have the correct Fibre Channel adapter numbers. After making any changes or corrections, reissue the Establish paths request.
