7.3.18 Multiple Subchannel Sets
Multiple Subchannel Sets (MSS), first introduced in z9 EC, provide a mechanism for
addressing more than 63.75-K I/O devices and aliases for ESCON
1
(CHPID type CNC) and
FICON (CHPID types FC) on the z13, z13s, zEC12, zBC12, z196, z114, z10 EC, and z9 EC.
z196 introduced the third subchannel set (SS2), which is not available in zBC12. With z13s
servers, three subchannel sets are now available.
Table 7-20 lists the minimum operating system levels that are required on the z13s.

z/VM V6R3 MSS support for mirrored direct access storage device (DASD) provides a subset
of host support for the MSS facility to allow using an alternative subchannel set for a
Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) secondary volumes.
7.3.19 Three subchannel sets
With z13s, a third subchannel set (SS2) is introduced. Together with the second subchannel
set (SS1), SS2 can be used for disk alias devices of both primary and secondary devices, and
as Metro Mirror secondary devices. These subchannel sets help facilitate storage growth and
complement other functions, such as extended address volume (EAV) and Hyper Parallel
Access Volumes (HyperPAV).
