Actions to reconfigure channel paths

To configure channel paths, enter the following:

To configure channel paths individually offline or online:

    
CONFIG CHP(x),OFFLINE    
CONFIG CHP(x),ONLINE

To configure all channel paths owned by a side of a partitionable processor complex:
```
    
CONFIG CHP(ALL,x),OFFLINE    
CONFIG CHP(ALL,x),ONLINE  
```
These commands are particularly useful when partitioning or merging the complex.

To configure a range of channel paths:

    
CONFIG CHP(x-y),OFFLINE    
CONFIG CHP(x-y),ONLINE

The system determines which devices are connected to a channel path and if that path is the last path to a device. To configure offline the last path to a device, enter a CONFIG command with one of the following operands:

UNCOND operand: To configure offline the last path to an unallocated, online device
FORCE operand: To configure offline the last path to a device regardless of the state of the device.
To make sure that FORCE is intended, the operating system issues message IEE800D to ask whether to continue or stop the CONFIG command processing.

Enter all the CONFIG commands at a console with master authority. The system responds on the console on which the command was entered.
