Copying a channel subsystem to an SMP processor

HCD offers actions to copy a channel subsystem to an SMP processor or merge the CSS to an existing SMP processor configuration. When copying a channel subsystem to an SMP processor, the following related objects and connections are also copied:

• Partitions
• Channel paths
• Control units
• Devices

1. Use action Work with channel subsystems . . (XMP) (or action code  s ) for an XMP processor which brings you to its Channel Subsystem List.
2. Now you select action Copy to processor (or action code  y ) for the CSS that you want to copy.
3. The Identify Target IODF panel is displayed. Specify the IODF where the target processor is defined. The default IODF is the IODF you are currently working with. Press the Enter key. The Copy to Processor panel is displayed.

4. Specify your target processor (an SMP processor) and press the Enter key.
   Note:

   If the target processor does not yet exist, HCD invokes the Add Processor dialog. If the target processor already exists, you must confirm that you want to merge the configuration data. Anyway, make sure that the target processor does not support multiple logical channel subsystems.
5. Before returning to the Channel Subsystem List, a message will inform you about the success of the action.
