Display ESCON/FICON Switches for Port Configuration (Option 3.5.2)

The Switches menu displays ESCON/FICON switch and port information. Use this menu to configure the switch ports.

To display the ESCON/FICON switches for port configuration

1. Choose option 2: Switches - View/Select ESCON/FICON switches from the Switch Operations Facility Menu.

   A menu similar to the following sample displays which displays both a global and local view of SOF managed switches. The difference in the views is the inclusion of the local system switch device number in the output display.

2. Enter the POR line command in the Sel field to display the ports for the switch.

   A port panel for a switch similar to the following sample displays:

   Each port is displayed along with the following information:

   • Hardware status (H) attributes
   • Blocked/unblocked (B) attribute
   • Dedicated connection port name (C)
   • Attached device type
3. Type over fields in this panel to change the attributes and press enter.

   After verification, SOF will change the port and display returned messages.

   Use the valid line commands to verify what devices are connected to a particular port, restrict port use, and display additional information.

The SOF Matrix Screen provides editing capability that lets you better manage your switch ports. This screen lets you edit active port information, ports in a switch file, and ports from a data set that may not be tied to a specific switch.
