-images are discovered Images (FCUB).
-emul represents emulated FDCBs.
-active represents active FDCBs.
-epcb is the emulation Control Block (port specific).
-fhpb is the FICON Host Path Block.
-fdpb adrs is the FICON Device Path Block.
-fchb is the FICON Channel Control Block.
-fcub is the FICON Control Unit Control Block.
-fdcb adrs is the FICON Device Control Block.
-mem adrs displays 1250 memory in 256 byte increments.
-pools displays current data buffer pool counts.
-pmmr displays PMMR pointers.
-clear clears statistics.
The -emul argument can be used to Monitor FICON emulation activities (see ”FICON emulation
monitoring” on page 447). The other arguments are primarily for support personnel.
FICON emulation monitoring
The -emul argument can be used to monitor FICON emulation. The following is an example:
switch:admin> portshow ficon ge1 0 -emul
XRC and Tape statistics are presented in different output formats.The following elements are common to
both tape emulation and XRC emulation outputs:
FDCB ptr is a pointer to the FICON Device Control Block. Support personnel may use this pointer.
Path is the device path, in the format VE-HD-HP-DD-DP-LP-CU-DV. where:
VE is the internal VE_Port number.
HD is the hex value for the Host Domain (the entry domain for this host port into the fabric).
HP is the hex value for the Host Port (the entry port of this host connection into the fabric).
DD is the hex value for the Device Domain (the entry domain for this device into the fabric).
DP is the hex value for the Device Port (the entry port for this device connection into the fabric).
LP is the Logical Partition (LPAR) value for the host accessing the specific device.
CU is the Control Unit number (CUADDR) for the specific FICON connection.
DV is the Device Number of this FICON connected device.
For example, the value 2463016406050001 breaks down as follows:
State is displayed as a value of zero indicates emulation is idle. Any non-zero value indicates emulation
is active.
Tape output example:
