Create the first CTC connection

HCM considers a CTC connection as a single entity comprising selected control units and I/O devices connected to the CHPIDs.

  1. Select CTC connection... from the Create menu. This opens the Create CTC Connection dialog.
  2. Click the CTC or FC CHPID button, and from the emerging Select CHPID for CTC connection dialog, double-click on the + sign besides PROC1, then select PROC1.20 S CTC SHR and finally press OK. Even though the CHPIDs are connected to switch ports, we select the CHPIDs that are to be connected. Click the second CNC/FCV or FC CHPID button and select PROC2.21 CNC SHR.
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.
  3. Click OK in the Create CTC Connection dialog. The Edit CTC Connection dialog appears to allow you to define the control units that are part of the connection.
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.
  4. Click the Add New... button on the left-hand side to create the control units and devices that are connected to PROC1.20 CTC to represent the images available via PROC2.21 CNC.
  5. Enter control unit number 4110 to represent LPAR11 and control unit number 4120 to represent LPAR12. Leave the other controls as they appear and click OK. This creates control unit 4110 CTC with devices 4110,4 CTC and control unit 4120 CTC and devices 4120,4 CTC and connect them to CHPID PROC1.20 CTC to represent the two partitions.
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.
  6. Click the Add New… button on the right-hand side of the Edit CTC Connection dialog to create the control unit and devices that are connected to PROC2.21 CNC to represent the images available via PROC1.20 CTC.
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.
  7. Enter control unit numbers 5110 to represent the image and click OK. The Edit CTC Connection dialog appears again as follows:
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.

    This dialog shows that the connection is fully specified with all images duly represented by control units.

  8. Close the Edit CTC Connection dialog and choose CTC connections... from the Edit menu to open the CTC Connections dialog. The connection between PROC1.20 CTC and PROC2.21 CNC appear in the dialog.
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.
  9. Select the entry in the list box and click Details... to open the View CTC Connection Details dialog.
    This figure shows the appropriate HCM dialog. How to complete this dialog is described in this scenario.
  10. This gives another view of the connection. The partition image LPAR11 on PROC1 can communicate with partitions LPAR21 and LPAR22 on PROC2.
  11. Click Cancel to return to the CTC Connections dialog.
