Device identification. Note: Virtual
I/O devices are identified by the following: - Device Class
- 0
- Unit Type
- 0
- Device Number
- X'7FFF'
It is important to understand the following: - Allocation messages for VIO data sets will show VIO ALLOCATED
TO ddname.
- SMF records will show VIO unit addresses as X'7FFF'.
- The actual in-storage UCB built for VIO will show address X'3FFF'.
For example, the messages: - IEF237I X'3FFF' ALLOCATED TO ddname
- IEF237I X'7FFF' ALLOCATED TO ddname
indicate that ddname is not allocated to a Virtual I/O device,
but is instead allocated to a real device whose unit address is X'3FFF' or X'7FFF' respectively.
