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 represents the Device Number of
the FICON connected device.
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.
