A Using HCD to Define and View Storage System Logical
Control Units and Compatible PAV Devices
The storage system logical control units (LCUs) and PAV base and alias devices are defined to
MVS/ESA, z/OS, and OS/390 systems using the configuration dialog boxes of the Hardware
Configuration Definition (HCD) Program. The WLMPAV device parameter for existing Compatible
PAV devices can also be displayed using the HCD Program.
This appendix provides sample instructions for:
•
Defining an XP24000 LCU and base and alias Compatible PAV devices (see
Define LCUs and Base and Alias Devices” (page 51)
•
Displaying the WLMPAV device parameters (see
“Displaying Compatible PAV Device
)
For further information on defining Compatible PAV devices to the z/OS and S/390 host, see the
S/390 documentation (OS/390 HCD User’s Guide).
For further information on how to use the SCHSET command, see the IBM Documentation.
Using HCD to Define LCUs and Base and Alias Devices
The following example shows the sequence of HCD dialog boxes used in defining a storage system
LCU and a range of base and alias devices. Before you can define the LCU, the channel paths
must already be defined.
To define a storage system LCU and the base and alias address range that it will support, use the
following example for HCD:
1.
From an ISPF/PDF primary options menu, select the HCD option to display the basic HCD
dialog box (see
). On this dialog box you must verify the name of the
IODF or IODF.WORK I/O definition file to be used.
2.
On the basic HCD dialog box, select option 1 to display the Define, Modify, or View
Configuration Data dialog box (see
).
3.
On the Define, Modify, or View Configuration Data dialog box (see
),
select option 4 to display the Add Control Unit dialog box.
4.
On the Add Control Unit dialog box (see
), enter the following information:
•
Control unit number
•
Control unit type − 2105 or 2107
•
Switch connection information
5.
After defining the LCU, select the processor complex that the LCU is to be attached to (see
“Selecting the Operating System” (page 54)
), and then select option 1, SELECT (see
).
6.
Enter chpids that attach to the LCU, the LCU address, the device starting address, and the
number of devices supported (see
“Control Unit Chpid, CUADD, and Device Address Range
).
7.
Return to the Define, Modify, or View Configuration Data dialog box, and select option 5 to
display the I/O Device List dialog box (see
).
8.
On the I/O Device List dialog box, press PF11 to start the Add Device dialog (see
).
9.
On the Add Device dialog box, enter the following (see
):
•
Device number
•
Number of devices
•
Device type: 3390B or 3380B for an Compatible PAV base device, or 3390A or 3380A
for an Compatible PAV alias device
