5.3.2.3 OPSCON Usage Considerations

 
 The following list provides special considerations or
 techniques related to using the OPSCON file :
 
 o  The data for the IPL event is obtained from the SMF
    record type 8 - I/O Configuration.
 
 o  The data for the VARY ONLINE event is obtained from the
    SMF record type 9 - VARY ONLINE.
 
 o  The data for the VARY OFFLINE event is obtained from
    the SMF record type 11 - VARY OFFLINE.
 
 o  The data for the ALLOC RECOV event is obtained from the
    SMF record type 10 - Allocation Recovery.  The CONDESC
    data element contains the job name and RDRTS of the
    job causing the allocation recovery.
 
 o  The SMF record type 22 - Configuration also causes
    IPL, VARY ONLINE, and VARY OFFLINE events for the CONFIG
    CPU, CONFIG CHP, CONFIG VF, CONFIG STOR, CONFIG PFID,
    CONFIG ONLINE,S or CONFIG OFFLINE,S operator commands.
 
 o  If the event pertains to STORAGE, DESCR provides the
    address of the lowest page in real contiguous storage and
    the number of pages in real contiguous storage.

 o  Events relative to CPUs, CHANNEL paths, STORAGE and 3990
    controllers sets the following variables accordingly:
 
         +---------+------------+------------+
         | DEVADDR | DEVCLASS   | DEVTYPE    |
         +---------+------------+------------+
    CPU  | '000n'  | 'CPU     ' | 'CPU     ' |
    CHP  | '    '  | 'CHP     ' | 'CHP     ' |
    PFID | '    '  | 'PCIE    ' | 'PCIE    ' |
    STOR | '    '  | 'STORAGE ' | 'STORAGE ' |
    3990 | 'nnnn'  | 'STORAGE ' | 'STORAGE ' |
         +---------+------------+------------+
 
         +-------------------------------------------------+
         | CONDESC                                         |
         +-------------------------------------------------+
    CPU  |'CPUMODEL=nnnnn, CPUAD=nnn, CPUID=nn'            |
         |'CPUMODEL=nnnnn, CPUAD=nnn, VECTOR FACILITY'     |
    CHP  |'CHPID=nnn, OWNED=yes/no, ONLINE=yes/no'         |
    PFID |'PCIE FUNCTION ID=nn, RECONFIGURED               |
    STOR |'LOWEST PAGE=nnnnnnn, PAGES=nnnnn'               |
    3990 |'SUBSYSTEM=nnnn, MODEL=nn, VOLSER=nnnnnn'        |
         +-------------------------------------------------+
