Valid Line Commands

Line commands are available for most SOF dialog panels. Enter line commands into the prefix area preceding the desired line item.

The following are all available line commands; most of them are available only in a single context from a specific level of a panel dialog:

ACT

Activates the switch configuration in a switch file and synchronize the device path status with the new switch settings.

CDS

Copies a switch file to an offline configuration data set

CPY

Copies a switch file to another new or existing switch file on the same switch.

DEL

Deletes a switch file.

DID

Displays the complete device ID of the primary object being displayed

DSN

Displays offline port configuration data sets.

FIL

Displays the switch file list.

GCH

Displays global switch information.

GCU

Displays global control unit information.

GDV

Displays global device information.

GSW

Displays global switch information.

INS

Performs the insert file function, which creates a new switch file or over-writes an existing switch file with the current switch port configuration.

LCH

Displays local channel path ID (CHPID) information.

LCU

Displays local control unit information.

LDV

LSY

Changes the default local system name for other local display commands.

MAS

Displays the port mask for viewing and modification.

MTX

NAM

Invokes a panel for changing the name of a switch or port. Overtyping name fields on the switch or port displays accomplishes the same function as this command.

PID

Displays the switch port attached node device ID for a local control unit.

POR

SID

Displays the switch device ID when a switch device ID is part of the data associated with another object such as CHPID, CU, or DEVICE.

SYS

Displays all SOF managed systems.
