SID Entries

Use an SID entry to assign a 1- to 4-character system-id name to each virtual machine running CA VM:Tape in the shared complex:

SID    sysname1,sysname2,sysname3

The sysname can be the CPUID or an SMF system ID assigned on the CA VM:Tape STAM configuration file record. If the sysname is not the SMF system ID or CPUID, use a second SID entry to associate an SMFIDn or CPUIDn parameter with the chosen system name.

In Example 1, SMFID1, SMFID2, and SMFID3 on the second SID entry are used to associate an SMF system id with the system names assigned in the first SID entry:

Example 1:

SID BLUE,GOLD,RED
SID SMFID1=SYS1,SMFID2=SYS2,SMFID3=SYS3

In Example 2, CPUID1, CPUID2, and CPUID3 on the second SID entry are used to associate a CPU serial number with the system names assigned in the first SID entry. For a UP system, code the parameter as CPUIDn=xxxxxx; for an AP or MP system, code it as CPUIDn=(xxxxxx,xxxxxx), because the virtual CPUID is established as the CPUID of the IPL processor.

Example 2:

SID 3033,3081,4341
SID CPUID1=123456,CPUID2=(013579,024680),CPUID3=567890
