Dynamically adding channel paths

To dynamically add a channel path, use the following general steps:

  1. Describe the new I/O configuration definition in an I/O definition file (IODF) that you create through HCD. Including a channel path in an IODF adds that I/O component's definition to the I/O configuration definition.
  2. Activate the new IODF.
  3. Install the new I/O components that you have dynamically added through the new IODF. As required, configure the channel paths.
