Ethernet Format check box
If the Host Adapter Address that you entered in the Host Adapter Address
field is in Ethernet Format, select this check box. If the Host Adapter
Address field is in Token-Ring Format, do not select this check box.
Physical Unit Name
This is the name of the physical unit that the 3494 Tape Library
communicates with for this host, for example, VSE3174. The physical unit
name must be either eight or fewer characters, or eight or fewer characters
followed by a period (.) and eight or fewer characters. This field accepts
only alphanumeric characters and the “.” character. Blank spaces are not
valid.
XID (optional)
(Exchange ID) This is an optional field. If you leave it blank, the XID is
assigned a value of “00000000”. If you enter an XID value, it must be
either five or eight hexadecimal bytes. If you enter only five bytes, the
prefix “05D” is used.
Note: XID is optional for APPC and APPC/VTAM hosts. It is not
applicable for TCP/IP hosts.
Note: If the host is an AS/400 or iSeries, the following commands provide the
information that you need to update the Change LAN Host Information
window:
v
If the AS/400 or iSeries operating system is earlier than Version 3 Release
6, use DSPLANMLD (the Display LAN Information command).
v If the AS/400 or iSeries operating system is Version 3 Release 6 or later,
use DSPLANMLB (the Display LAN Media Library Information
command).
The Change LAN Host Information window has the following push buttons:
OK
Updates the LAN host information by using the changes entered in the
Change LAN Host Information window.
Cancel
Closes the Change LAN Host Information window without updating the
host information.
Help Provides help about the Change LAN Host Information window.
The Change LAN Host Information window for TCP/IP hosts (Figure 226 on page
351) allows you to change the information about a LAN host in the 3494 Tape
Library configuration. When this is done, the 3494 Tape Library responds to the
host with the new configuration data.
