Link Maintenance Information Detail Edit (A2) Report

The link maintenance information detail edit report provides a printout of the information contained in a link maintenance information (A2) record. The report is used when detailed or model-dependent information must be gathered for a particular unit or link incident.

Figure 1contains an example of the link maintenance information detail edit (A2) report.

1: If a channel path ID (CHPID) is identified for the link incident described in the report, it is printed in the REPORTING PATH field. If CHPID is not specified, N/A (not applicable) is printed. (A CHPID is only specified when the incident node is a channel.)
2: The INCIDENT CODE is a hex byte that indicates the type of incident detected.
3: If the incident node is the director port in a dedicated connection, then the other port participating in the connection is indicated in the DEDICATED CONNECTION INTERFACE (DCI) field. For all other link connections, the DCI is N/A (not applicable).
4: The NODE field indicates whether the node specified is the incident node (the node that detected the link incident) or an attached node (the node attached to the incident node through a link). If the attached node is not known, the node is all zeros. The attached node in a dedicated connection in a director port is always all zeros.
5: TYPE-MODEL contains the type and model of the unit presenting both the incident and attached nodes.
6: MFG is the manufacturer as shown in both the incident and attached nodes.
7: PLANT is the plant of manufacture as shown in both the incident and attached nodes.
8: SEQUENCE NUMBER is the manufacturing sequence number as shown in both the incident and attached nodes for the TYPE-MODEL.
9: INTERFACE is the specific port as shown in both the incident and attached nodes.
10: The contents of the record are displayed in hex format. Model-dependent data is contained in the last 36 bytes of the record.
