No idea, maybe. :-)

I get devices like $1$DGAnnn (FC) and $1$DKAnnn (SCSI).

The FC devices are not used on this box. We have ALLOCLASS=1
on all three systems, the two others has (and uses) a mix of
FC and SCSI devices with no problem. One has shadowing between
DGA (remote HSG80 shelf) and DKA (local HSZ80 shelf) devices.
