Performing Channel Wrap Tests (FICON)
A channel wrap test is a diagnostic procedure that checks
host-to-director FICON link connectivity by returning the output of
the host as input. The test is host-initiated, and transmits ECHO
extended link service (ELS) command frames to a director port
enabled for channel wrapping. The director port echoes the frames
back to the host.
To perform a channel wrap test for a director-attached host:
1. Notify the customer a disruptive channel wrap test will be
performed on the host-to-director FICON link.
2. At the management server, open the EFC Manager application.
The Products View displays.
a. Double-click the icon representing the director for which the
channel wrap test will be configured. The Hardware View for
the selected director displays.
b. At the Hardware View, verify the location of the port to be
configured for the channel wrap test. When the mouse cursor
is passed over a graphical port card on the front view of the
director, the card highlights with a blue border and a pop-up
displays with the following information:
• Port card type (UPM or XPM).
