setioport

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID | -

(Optional) Accepts a fully qualified storage image ID. The storage image ID consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number.

Note: This parameter is required if you do not specify a fully qualified port ID and you do not specify a value for the devid variable in your profile file.

-topology fc-al | scsi-fcp | ficon

(Optional) Sets the topology for an I/O port, either Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, SCSI-FCP, or FICON.

fibre channel arbitrated loop (code fc-al)

The fc-al topology setting enables the SCSI ULP with a FC-AL topology. The FC-AL topology does not support PPRC path I/O operations.

SCSI-FCP

The SCSI-FCP topology setting enables the SCSI ULP with a point-to-point or switched fabric topology. PPRC path I/O operations are enabled for this setting.

ficon

The ficon topology setting enables the FICON ULP with a point-to-point or switched fabric topology. PPRC path I/O operations are not supported for FICON ULP.

port_ID . . . | -

(Required) Displays I/O ports matching the specified IDs. Accepts a fully qualified port ID, which includes the storage image ID, or a shortened version without the storage image ID when the -dev parameter is specified.

A port ID is prefixed with letter I and consists of four hexadecimal characters in the format EEAP, where:

• EE is an I/O port enclosure number in the range of 00 - 01 (1750 machine types).
• A is the adapter number and is specified as 0, 1, 2, or 3 (1750 machine types).
• P is the port number (0 - 3).

To specify a range of port IDs, separate the port IDs with a hyphen.

You must separate multiple port IDs or ranges of port IDs by a blank space between each ID or range of IDs.

If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.
