The Channel Path Identifier (CHPID) Summary Reports list the channel
path identifiers defined in each CSS in the IOCDS. The report name
in the heading states which CSS is being reported and to which CSS
the CHPID numbers belong. Every defined CSS is reported separately.
For each CHPID, the report shows the following:
- CHPID number of the channel path
- PCHID number, PCHID and PORT numbers, VCHID number, or AID
and PORT numbers associated with the channel path. VCHID numbers are indicated by '(V)'.
- Channel path type
- Switch number associated with the channel path
- Channel path parameter (CHPARM)
- Logical partition (LP) access method for the channel path
- MIF image ID numbers of logical partitions that the channel path
can access.
Figure 1 shows
an example of the CHPID Summary Report.
If the SWITCH keyword is not allowed for the channel path type,
the report column contains N/A. If the SWITCH keyword
is allowed but not specified for a channel path, then the report column
contains NONE.
If the CHPARM keyword is not allowed for the channel path type,
the report column contains N/A. If CHPARM is allowed
but not specified or has a value of 00, either NONE or 00 is
shown, depending on the channel path type.
The LP ACCESS report column shows the logical partition access
method for the channel path.
- DED is reported if the channel path is dedicated to a single logical
partition
- REC is reported if the channel path is defined as reconfigurable
- SHARED is reported if the channel path is defined as shared
- SPANNED is reported if the channel path is defined as spanned.
The MIF IMAGE ID NUMBERS report column shows the MIF image IDs
of logical partitions that the CHPID can access in the CSS.
- For each partition in the access list of the CHPID, the MIF image
ID number column contains an
A for the corresponding
partition.
- For each partition in the candidate list but not the access list
of the CHPID, the MIF image ID number column contains a
C for
the corresponding partition.
- For all partitions not in the access or candidate lists of the
CHPID, the corresponding MIF image ID number columns are left blank.
Several legends are located at the end of the CHPID Summary
Report. The first set of legends describes the entries in the CHPARM
report column for the channel path types that support the CHPARM keyword.
The last legend describes the entries in the MIF IMAGE ID NUMBERS
report column.
At the end of the CHPID Summary Report, the totals are listed for each channel path type your
CPC supports in the CSS.
