Summary of Device Information
For the most current device information, see the specific device publication, use the Query supported hardware and installed UIMs option on the HCD primary task selection panel, or the Print Supported Hardware support.
Table 1 displays an IBM-provided list
showing the device order that z/OS uses
when it attempts to satisfy a request for a device from an esoteric
device group. The order of the IBM-defined list ensures that z/OS always tries to allocate the
fastest possible available device.
For each of your UIMs, you may add the generic name and generic preference value to this default list by inserting the device anywhere in the list. While you may add to the list, you cannot change the order of the IBM-defined list this way.
The following specifications are valid for all devices and, therefore,
are not repeated in the table:
- Under the Features/Parameter column:
- OFFLINE (applies to all devices)
- DYNAMIC (applies to all devices with dynamic device support)
- Under the Control Units column:
- NOCHECK (applies to all control units)
The following common parameters apply to all devices in a systems:
- ADAPTER
- FEATURE
- NUMSECT
- OFFLINE
- PCU
- SETADDR
- TCU
- DYNAMIC
- OWNER
- LOCANY
