FICON System Messages
The FICON messages in this chapter include <FICON Path> in many of the messages. The FICON
Path is a string that includes,
VEHDHPDDDPLPCUDV where:
VE - VE Port Number: This number represents the FCIP Tunnel number through its VE
Port number.
HD - Host switch Domain number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents
the domain of the switch that the FICON Channel is directly connected to.
HP - Host Port number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the
switch port of the switch that the FICON Channel is directly connected to.
DD - Device Domain number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the
domain of the switch that the FICON Control Unit is directly connected to.
DP - Device Port number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the
switch port of the switch that the FICON Control Unit is directly connected to.
LP - Host LPAR number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that represents the
Logical Partition or Logical Channel Number used on the FICON connection.
CU - CU Number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that is the Logical Control
Unit number (AKA CUADDR) - normally a value in the range of 00-0x1F.
DV - Device Number: This is a 1 byte hexidecimal value that is the Logical Control
Unit number (AKA CUADDR) - normally a value in the range of 00-0xFF
Note that there are some messages where the lower order FICON Path components can
be displayed as "**" in those cases, the event or message applicability is not
limited to a Device Number or Control Unit or LPAR. Those messages would include
the following format of the FICON Path:
VEHDHPDDDPLPCU** - indicates that the event or message is specific to all Devices
on a specific Control Unit.
VEHDHPDDDPLP**** - indicates that the event or message is specific to all Control
Units and all Devices on those control Units from a specific LPAR.
VEHDHPDDDP****** - indicates that the event or message is specific to all Control
Units and all Devices on those control Units from a all LPARs on that FICON
Channel.
