Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

The provider must already exist and must be of type IPDATA, but need not be started when
configured. This attribute is valid only for a CLIM which has IP or OPEN MODE (i.e., a CLIM
that can be used for TCP/IP networking).
The same IPDATA provider can be associated with more than one CLIM. The default provider
is ZTC0, which always exists and always is of type IPDATA.
Example 27 adds to the system a network CLIM named N1002533 that is connected to the
ServerNet switch in group 100, module 2, slot 5, port 3, fiber 3 and is associated with PROVIDER
CSAM:
Example 27 ADD IP CLIM
> ADD CLIM $ZZCIP.N1002533, LOCATION (100,2,5,3,3), PROVIDER CSAM, MODE IP
This command adds to this system a Storage CLIM named S1002531 that is connected to the
ServerNet switch in group 100, module 2, slot 5, port 3, fiber 1:
Example 28 ADD Storage CLIM
> ADD CLIM $ZZCIP.S1002531, LOCATION (100,2,5,3,1), MODE STORAGE
ADD CLIM Guidelines
• For an IP or OPEN MODE CLIM with MULTIPROV ON, an IPDATA provider is associated with
each data interface that can be changed by the climconfig command. For an IP or OPEN
MODE CLIM with MULTIPROV OFF, all data interfaces are associated with the IPDATA provider
specified by the PROVIDER attribute of that CLIM.
• The MULTIPROV attribute of a CLIM object has a direct impact on a CLIM-based configuration
(a network configuration added using climconfig with the PROV attribute specified). When
the MULTIPROV attribute is changed, the CLIM-based configuration is updated by CIP software
to reflect the change in the MULTIPROV attribute. If MULTIPROV is changed from OFF to ON,
all network resources already configured on the CLIM are associated with the provider specified
by the PROVIDER attribute of the CLIM object. If MULTIPROV is changed from ON to OFF, all
network resources configured on that CLIM (specified by the PROVIDER attribute of the
climconfig command used to configure the network resource) will no longer be explicitly
associated with any specific provider, but are implicitly associated with the PROVIDER attribute
of the CLIM object.
ADD PROVIDER
The ADD PROVIDER command creates a transport-service provider for application use. The
PROVIDER object allows you to specify certain characteristics for applications such as IPv4 or IPv6.

prov-name
Specifies the name given to the provider. The name must be from one to seven alphanumeric
characters long and use a leading alphabetic character. If the name is no more than five
characters long, it can serve as both the provider name and the CIPSAM process name; in that
