The Adapter Type Summary Pane
By default, the Adapter Type Summary pane is the rightmost tabbed pane in the Hardware Resolution view. Figure 1 shows this pane.
Note: For information about sorting tabular information,
see Sorting information.
The Adapter Type Summary pane displays a table with
the following columns:
- (Blank or X in red circle)
- This column either is blank or
contains an X in a red circle. An X indicates the value in the Used
column is greater than the value in the Available column. This means
there is not sufficient hardware to handle the CHPIDs assigned in
the IOCP file. Figure 1 shows
an example in which the first column is blank. Figure 2 shows an
example in which the first column includes Xs:
This picture shows the Adapter Type Summary pane with Xs in the first column.
An X indicates one of the following:- An IOCP type that has no hardware defined for it or more attempted assignments than available. (If there is no hardware defined, the Available column contains 0. For more attempted assignments, the number in the Used column exceed that in the Available column.)
- A type named that is invalid for that configuration. (For example, if you have an IOCP that has FICON® and OSA, but the hardware has only FICON, the tool flags each OSA type with an X.)
In the first case, there is not enough hardware to handle the CHPIDs assigned in the IOCP input file.
- Adapter Type
- This column indicates the adapter type whose information is listed in the next two columns.
- Used
- This column specifies how many of the particular adapter type are assigned (of the total available).
- Available
- This column
specifies how many of the particular adapter type are available.
Clicking the column heading sorts the column in descending order. If you click again, the tool performs the sort and changes the direction of the arrow. You can click the arrow (which is pointing up) to sort the column in ascending order. For details about sorting, see Sorting information
- Device Count
- The column lists the number of cards for each particular adapter type.
