 [CHP=nn IS PART OF ANOTHER CONFIGURATION]

A display request (a DISPLAY M=CHP(nn) command or an internal request) asked the system to display the status of a specified channel path. The status of the channel path is given for each device connected to it; the first 3 hexadecimal digits (or 4 digits, if multiple subchannel sets have been defined) of the device number appear down the left side of the display and the last digit appears across the top.

In the message text:
CHP nn IS OFFLINE
The channel path is offline.
nn
The channel path for which status was requested.
CHP=nn DOES NOT EXIST
The channel path does not exist.
nn
The channel path for which status was requested.
NO DEVICES ARE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THIS CHANNEL PATH
This channel path does not connect to a device.
CHP=nn IS PART OF ANOTHER CONFIGURATION
The cause of issuing this reason is one of the following:
  • The channel path is configured to another logical partition.
  • The channel path is in single channel service (SCS) mode; that is, the channel path configured offline and placed in a diagnostic mode. While in SCS mode, the channel path cannot be configured online, even though it appears to be physically accessible.
  • The channel path is not defined in the current I/O configuration.
  • The sysplex name found by using the D XCF command does not match DCM IOCLUSTER name in IODF.
