Creating a Multi-Line Path

This section describes how to configure a multi-line path.

1. Create the path-logical device.

-> ADD DEVICE $ZZWAN.#path_name, PROFILE name,&

IOPOBJECT $SYSTEM.SYS00.LHOBJ, CPU cpunum, ALTCPU altcpu,&

TYPE (63,1), RSIZE 0, PATHTF 3, NEXTSYS sysnum

2. To create lines in the multi-line path (called line-logical devices), use the SCF ADD

DEVICE command syntax shown for configuring single-line Expand line-handler

processes (see Creating a Single-Line Expand Line-Handler Process on page 1-6),

but with the following exceptions:

•

Use the TYPE modifier values as shown in Table 1-8.

•

Omit the NEXTSYS modifier; it was specified when you configured the path-

logical device.

Note. If you want the multi-line path to be part of a multi-CPU path, specify the

SUPERPATH_ON modifier in the SCF ADD DEVICE command. You can configure a maximum

of 16 paths in a multi-CPU path.

Table 1-7. ADD DEVICE Syntax: Path-Logical Device

Parameter Description

path_name The name you want to assign to the path-logical device.

name The name of the profile you created in Task 2, Step 2a.

cpunum The number of the primary processor.

altcpu The number of the alternate processor.

sysnum The number of the system connected to the other end of the multi-line

path. System numbers can be displayed using the SCF INFO

PROCESS $NCP, LINESET command.
