CONFIG command

Use the CONFIG command to change or check the configuration of the system. You can use the CONFIG command to change the online or offline status of available processors, storage amounts, storage ranges, central storage elements, PCIE function identifiers (PFIDs), storage-class memory (SCM), and channel paths:

Directly
In response to a configuration display
With the options in a CONFIGxx parmlib member that you specify

Table 1 summarizes the information that the CONFIG command provides. Use it to access the pages on which you can find details about a particular use of the CONFIG command.

The CONFIG command reconfigures (both logically and physically) available processors, central storage ranges, amounts, elements, PCIE function identifiers (PFIDs), and channel paths.

Note: To configure an Integrated Cryptographic Facility (ICRF) online or offline, you have to configure online or offline the processor to which the ICRF is attached, and when configuring an ICRF online, Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility/MVS (ICSF/MVS) must be active. You can enter the CONFIG command only from a console with master authority.
