How to Manage Switch Operations (Option 3.5)

Switch Operations Facility (SOF) I/O Management provides an ISPF user interface that displays and controls the I/O resources connected through ESCON directors and FICON switches.

Use this interface to do the following:

• Navigate the entire shared I/O configuration.
• Display all connectivity from the vantage point of any specific system, switch, control unit, channel path, or device, and control all connectivity using simple line commands.
• At the level of ports within a single ESCON/FICON switch, display the port matrix of connectivity between any individual port and all other ports within the switch.
• Display and control each port-to-port connection with a single character.
• Maintain switch configuration files.
