FICON System Messages

The FICON messages in this chapter include

<FICON Path>

in many of the messages. The FICON

Path is a string that includes,

VEHDHPDDDPLPCUDV

where:

VE - VE Port Number: This number represents the FCIP Tunnel number through its VE

Port number.

HD - Host switch Domain number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents

the domain of the switch that the FICON Channel is directly connected to.

HP - Host Port number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the

switch port of the switch that the FICON Channel is directly connected to.

DD - Device Domain number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the

domain of the switch that the FICON Control Unit is directly connected to.

DP - Device Port number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the

switch port of the switch that the FICON Control Unit is directly connected to.

LP - Host LPAR number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the

Logical Partition or Logical Channel Number used on the FICON connection.

CU - CU Number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that is the Logical Control

Unit number (AKA CUADDR) - normally a value in the range of 00-0x1F.

DV - Device Number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that is the Logical Control

Unit number (AKA CUADDR) - normally a value in the range of 00-0xFF

Note that there are some messages where the lower order FICON Path components can

be displayed as "**" in those cases, the event or message applicability is not

limited to a Device Number or Control Unit or LPAR. Those messages would include

the following format of the FICON Path:

VEHDHPDDDPLPCU** - indicates that the event or message is specific to all Devices

on a specific Control Unit.

VEHDHPDDDPLP**** - indicates that the event or message is specific to all Control

Units and all Devices on those control Units from a specific LPAR.

VEHDHPDDDP****** - indicates that the event or message is specific to all Control

Units and all Devices on those control Units from a all LPARs on that FICON

Channel.
