FID summary report

Edit online
The FID Summary Report lists the function IDs (FIDs) defined in the IOCDS. For each FID, the report shows the following:
  • FID number
  • PCHID number, PCHID and PORT numbers, or VCHID number the FID is associated with. VCHID numbers are indicated by '(V)'.
  • VF number or PF
  • FID type
  • UID number
  • FID parameter (FIDPARM)
  • PNETID values
  • Partitions that can use the FID. The partitions are identified by their CSS and MIF image ID number.

Sample FID summary report shows an example of the FID Summary Report.

If a range of functions are specified with a single FUNCTION statement, the first FID, VF, and UID are reported on one line and the last FID, VF, and UID are reported on a second line. All other values reported apply to the range of functions. If the UID keyword is not specified and IOCP generated unique UID values (for example, UUIDs), the UUID values may be non-consecutive for the range of FIDs and therefore some of the FIDs will be reported separately.

If the VF or UID keywords are not specified, dashes are reported. If the PNETID keyword was not specified or a PNETID keyword value was skipped, dashes are reported. However, if the UID or PNETID keyword was not specified but IOCP provided a default value, the default value is reported.

If UUID checking is enabled for a partition that can access a FID, the UID value reported is appended with '*'.

If the FIDPARM keyword is not allowed for the function type, the report column contains N/A. If the FIDPARM keyword is allowed but not specified for a function type, then the column contains NONE.

If a FID type does not require the PORT keyword and multiple PNETID values are specified for the adapter's ports, the PNETID values are reported on successive lines. The first line is associated with the PNETID for port 1, the second line is associated with the PNETID for port 2, and so on.

The MIF IMAGE ID NUMBERS report column shows the MIF image IDs of logical partitions that the FID can access in the associated CSS. The CSS number that precedes a MIF image ID field is the CSS for which that field applies.
  • If a partition is in the access list of the FID, 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 FID, the MIF image ID number column contains a C for the corresponding partition.
  • If a partition is in the access list of the FID and the partition has UUID checking enabled, the MIF image ID number column contains an '&' for the corresponding partition.
  • For each partition in the candidate list but not the access list of the FID and the partition has UUID checking enabled, the MIF image ID number column contains a U for the corresponding partition.
  • For all partitions not in the access or candidate lists of the FID, the corresponding MIF image ID number columns are left blank.

Several legends are located at the end of the FID Summary Report. The first legend describes the entries in the FIDPARM report column for the function types that support the FIDPARM keyword. The next legend describes the entries in the MIF IMAGE ID NUMBERS report column.

At the end of the FID Summary Report, the totals are listed for each FID type your CPC supports.
