The logical and physical connections between source CF CHPIDs and
their connected target CF CHPIDs remain unchanged on the source. Copying
them to the target (both physically and logically) works as follows:
- Copying a processor:
- CF connections within the source processor (either with internal
or external CF CHPIDs) are also established at the target processor
with new CF control units and devices. Otherwise, CF connections
that connect to a different processor are not established at the copy
target processor/CSS.
- Copying a CSS:
- If the CF connection is within the source CSS (either with internal
or external CF CHPIDs), a new connection will be established in
the target processor with new CF control units and devices . If the
CF connection is across CSS boundaries (which includes connections
with spanned CHPIDs), no connection is established at the target processor.
- Copying a partition:
- CF connections are not copied; that is, no new CF connection is
established at the target.
- An OS partition is included in the access list of a matching
shared or spanned CF CHPID that may already have a CF connection
at the copy target (that is, if a CF connection already exists between
the two target CHPIDs).
- A CF or CF/OS partition is not included in the access list of
a matching shared or spanned CF CHPID. (If a dedicated CF CHPID does
not yet exist in the CSS of the target, it is copied without establishing
a CF connection.)
