Manually assigning CHPIDS of type CIB and CS5
If you have CHPIDs of IOCP type CIB
or CS5
,
you must assign these CHPIDS to make Automatic Mapping available.
Perform the following steps to make Automatic Mapping available:
- If you have not already done so, ensure that the tool is displaying the Manual Mapping pane in the Hardware >I/O format.
- Find all the PCHIDs of type
IFB
,HCA
, andPCIe
by doing one of the following steps:- Type
IFB
,HCA
, orPCIe
in the Search field near the top of the pane, (Figure 1 shows the search field in the Hardware pane before the search) and click Enter.Figure 2 shows the results of the search.
Note: To reset the contents of the Hardware pane, remove the contents of the search field. - In the Hardware pane, click the Adapter Type column header. This action sorts the column by adapter type. Figure 3 shows this.
- Type
- For every row having
HCA
in the Adapter Type column, perform the following steps:- Click a row in that has a adapter type of
HCA
. The tool displays the CHPIDs with IOCP type ofCIB
that are available. Figure 4 shows an example: - Select one or more empty check boxes in the I/O Config
pane to assign the CHPID or CHPIDs.
Figure 5 shows an example of selecting a single check box.
If you select a single check box, the tool makes the following changes:- In the Hardware pane:
- In the CHPID column, it inserts the CHPID number.
- In the Assigned By, it inserts the value
Manual
- In the I/O Config pane:
- In the first column, it puts a green check mark in the check box.
- In the Assigned By, it inserts the value
Manual
.
Note:- There may be cases in which you select a single check box but the tool automatically selects additional check boxes. This occurs because the CHPID you selected is spanned, as is its associated CSS. Any additional CHPIDs are assigned to the same PCHID. Figure 6 shows an example in which the user selected 0.F0 and the tool automatically selected 1.F0.
- In the I/O Config pane, you can click Hide Spanned to hide the additional item or items. Figure 7 shows the additional item hidden.
- In the I/O Config pane, a check box might have a green square in it. This means the CHPID is already assigned to another PCHID and you cannot select it. Figure 8 shows an example. CHPIDs 0.F0 and 1.F0 are already assigned.
If you select more than one check box, the changes in the I/O Config pane are the same as for a single selection. However, in the Hardware pane, there are several differences:
- The value in the CHPID and Assigned By columns is
Multiple
(rather thanManual
). Figure 9 showsMultiple
in these columns. - The first column of the Hardware pane has a box with a plus sign
in it. Figure 10 shows
an example.
If you click the +, the row expands, showing all the CHPIDs. Figure 11 shows an example with the row expanded to show 0.F0 and 0.F1.
- In the expanded view of the CHPIDs, the tool displays
Manual(S)
in the Assigned By column for each CHPID.Manual
indicates the you assigned the CHPID manually. The(S)
indicates the CHPID and its associated CSS are spanned.
- In the Hardware pane:
CIB
andCS5
, you will be able to perform Automatic Mapping. - Click a row in that has a adapter type of
