13.4 Adding SCSI/FCP disks<br />
This book has only described ECKD disks, also known as DASD. In addition, z/<strong>VM</strong> and Linux<br />
support SCSI/FCP disks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fibre Channel (FC) standard was developed by the National Committee of In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
Technology Standards (NCITS). <strong>The</strong> System z FCP I/O architecture con<strong>for</strong>ms to these<br />
standards. System z FCP support enables z/<strong>VM</strong> and Linux running on System z to access<br />
industry-standard SCSI devices. For disk applications, these FCP storage devices utilize<br />
Fixed Block (512-byte) sectors rather than Extended Count Key Data (ECKD) <strong>for</strong>mat. A<br />
new channel-path identifier (CHPID) type has been defined called FCP. <strong>The</strong> FCP CHPID type is<br />
supported on the FICON and FICON Express features of all System z processors.<br />
This is only a brief introduction to SCSI/FCP disks and multipathing. For more complete<br />
documentation, see the Redbook Fibre Channel Protocol <strong>for</strong> Linux and z/<strong>VM</strong> on <strong>IBM</strong> System<br />

You can determine if your LPAR has these types of disks defined with the z/<strong>VM</strong> QUERY FCP<br />
and QUERY FCP FREE commands. Following is an example from a MAINT 3270 session:<br />
==> q fcp<br />
An active FCP was not found.<br />
==> q fcp free<br />
FCP 1F20 FREE , FCP 1F21 FREE , FCP 1F50 FREE , FCP 1F51 FREE<br />
FCP 3B00 FREE , FCP 3B01 FREE , FCP 3B02 FREE , FCP 3B03 FREE<br />
FCP 3B04 FREE , FCP 3B05 FREE , FCP 3B06 FREE , FCP 3B07 FREE<br />
FCP 3B08 FREE , FCP 3B09 FREE , FCP 3B0A FREE , FCP 3B0B FREE<br />
FCP 3B0C FREE , FCP 3B0D FREE , FCP 3B0E FREE , FCP 3B0F FREE<br />
FCP 3B<strong>10</strong> FREE , FCP 3B11 FREE , FCP 3B12 FREE , FCP 3B13 FREE<br />
FCP 3B14 FREE , FCP 3B15 FREE , FCP 3B16 FREE , FCP 3B17 FREE<br />
...<br />
<strong>The</strong> output shows that LPAR has many FCP devices free, but none of them are in use.<br />
Associated with FCP devices are World Wide Port Numbers (WWPNs) and Logical Unit<br />
Numbers (LUNs). Often, this in<strong>for</strong>mation may be available as part of the LPAR definition.<br />
However, you may not have this in<strong>for</strong>mation handy. If you do not have this in<strong>for</strong>mation, it can<br />
be queried on RHEL 6. In the following section an FCP/SCSI disk is attached to LINUX02.<br />
