Defining processors

Define a processor as follows:

1. On the Primary Task Selection panel, select Define, modify, or view configuration data and on the resulting panel the object Processors. HCD displays the Processor List of all processors currently defined in the IODF.

   On the Add Processor panel, you can specify the network name and the CPC name, when the processor is configured in a System z cluster. If you specify a SNA address, refer to Security-related considerations for specific access authority.

   A local system name (eight alphanumeric characters) is required if the processor contains CIB CF channel connections. In such a case, you need to specify local system names for both the target and source processors of this CIB connection. If you do not enter a local system name, and a CPC name is given, the local system name defaults to the CPC name.

   A local system name is optional for XMP processors without CIB connections. For SMP processors you must not specify a local system name.

   Use Prompt on the Add Processor panel for the SNA addresses for those CPCs that are currently configured in the System z cluster.

3. Depending on the processor type/model, there may be more than one support level for the processor type. The support level defines the supported channel path types, and the features such as CF duplexing and cascaded FICON switches. If the processor has several support levels, HCD displays another panel showing a list of available support levels for the processor (in our example, for a procesor of type 2097).

   Select the appropriate support level. HCD uses this level when validating the configuration for this processor. It relates to the installed microcode.

   Note:

   On the Available Support Levels panel you can retrieve an explanation of the processor support level for System z processors. Position the cursor on the support level description and press the F1 key to get an enumeration of functions provided by this support level.
4. After you press the Enter key HCD displays the updated Processor List.

   You can now use the F20=Right key to scroll to the right to see the SNA address, if you have defined one.
