OSA/SF and Device Configuration
IOCDS Sample:
CHPID PATH=(08), TYPE=OSACNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=0800, PATH=(08), UNIT=OSA
IODEVICE ADDRESS=(800,002), UNITADD=00, CUNUMBR=(0800), UNIT=OSA
IODEVICE ADDRESS=(80A), UNITADD=0A, CUNUMBR=(0800), UNIT=OSA
IODEVICE ADDRESS=80F, UNITADD=FE, CUNUMBR=(0800), UNIT=OSAD
This represents a definition for an OSA2 card plugged at CHPID 08, defining 3 device addresses. The device addresses are 800,801 (starting Unit Address of 00) and device address 80A (Unit Address of 0A). The OSAD device is at 80F and has UNITADD=FE.
With these definitions, one could use devices 800,801 for
a TCP/IP connection
and device 80A for an SNA connection.
Notice, there are no port definitions in the IOCDS
statements!
