Visara SCON-20L Installation - Manual (Page 57)

Chapter 5. Host Gens - OS/390
with HCD
Task List
The following is a general list of the tasks that are needed to successfully implement the
SCON in the OS/390 host environment. (An assumption is made that the LPARs being
used are already defined.) Example panels are given for many of the steps below, along
with other example panels to give you a better flavor of what to expect to see.
• Define Switch (ESCON Director) if not already defined (HCD Panels 4-9)
• Define CHPID: identifies which ESCON cable connected to the processor, ESCON
Director (switch), and downstream port to the controller are to be used (view: HCD
Panel 13)
• Define Controller Definition: identifies controller type, protocol (define: 16-18, 20
/ view: 14, 19)
• Define I/O Device Definitions: defines the number of I/O devices (define: 21-26,
29 / view: 15, 28)
• Define the Explicit Device Candidate List (on EMIF systems): Used to limit access
to each SCON host circuit to one LPAR (define: 23, 24)
• Build the production I/O Definition File with the new definitions
