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:
  1. If you have not already done so, ensure that the tool is displaying the Manual Mapping pane in the Hardware >I/O format.
  2. Find all the PCHIDs of type IFB, HCA, and PCIe by doing one of the following steps:
    • Type IFB, HCA, or PCIe 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.

      Figure 2. Results of search
      This picture shows the results of searching for the string in the Search field.
      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.

  3. For every row having HCA in the Adapter Type column, perform the following steps:
    1. Click a row in that has a adapter type of HCA. The tool displays the CHPIDs with IOCP type of CIB that are available. Figure 4 shows an example:
      Figure 4. Adapter type of HCA Link and associated CIB type CHPIDs
      This picture shows the IFB Link channel types in the Hardware pane and the CIB IOCP types in the I/O Config pane.
    2. 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.

      Figure 5. Changes in Hardware and I/O Config panes
      This picture shows the I/O config panes in the Hardware pane to assign CHPID or CHPIDs.
      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:
      1. 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.
        Figure 6. Multiple check marks for a spanned CHPID after selection of a single check box
        This picture shows the results of hiding spanned CHPIDs.
      2. 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.
        Figure 7. Results of clicking Hide Spanned
        This picture shows the results of clicking hide spanned .
      3. 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.
        Figure 8. Green square inside check box means CHPID is unavailable
        This picture shows a green square inside the check box in the I/O Config pane.

      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 than Manual). Figure 9 shows Multiple in these columns.
        Figure 9. Hardware pane displays "Multiple" in Assigned By column
        This picture shows a green square inside the check box in the I/O Config pane.
      • The first column of the Hardware pane has a box with a plus sign in it. Figure 10 shows an example.
        Figure 10. Clicking + displays additional details
        This picture shows a green square inside the check box in the I/O Config pane.
        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.
        Figure 11. Expanding the row to display multiple CHPIDs
        This picture shows a green square inside the check box in the I/O Config pane.
      • 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.
    After you assign all the CHPIDs of IOCP type CIB and CS5, you will be able to perform Automatic Mapping.
