Display Channel Paths (Option 3.5.3)

This display lets you view channel path IDs, control unit, and device information for use in the port configuration task. These panels identify what switch attached devices will be affected by changing switch port attributes.

To display the Channel Paths

1. Choose option 3: Channel Paths - View channel paths from the Switch Operations Facility Menu.

   A menu similar to the following displays the CHPID, device ID, and the switch connection attachment data.
