Overview
This
chapter
describes
planning
considerations
for
I/O
configuration
and
for
coupling
facility
LPs.
Planning
the
I/O
Configuration
This
section
describes
the
planning
considerations
and
guidelines
for
creating
an
IOCDS.
It
assumes
you
understand
the
IOCP
configuration
and
coding
requirements
described
in
the
Input/Output
Configuration
Program
User’s
Guide
,
SB10-7037.
Planning
Considerations
PR/SM
is
standard
on
all
System
z9
models.
Control
Program
Support
The
maximum
number
of
supported
devices
is
limited
by
the
control
program.
In
planning
an
I/O
configuration,
installation
management
should
be
aware
of
the
maximum
number
of
devices
supported
by
the
control
program
run
in
each
LP.
Please
see
the
user’s
guide
for
the
respective
operating
systems.
Hardware
Configuration
Definition
(HCD)
Support
HCD
supports
definition
of
the
I/O
configuration
for
an
entire
installation.
It
is
required
for
parallel
sysplex
and
LPAR
clusters.
A
single
I/O
data
file
is
created
for
the
installation
and
used
for
multiple
machines
and
I/O
configuration
data
sets.
HCD
supports:
v
Up
to
60
logical
partitions
(LPs)
per
central
processing
complex
(CPC)
v
Coupling
facility
configurations
v
Multiple
Image
Facility
(MIF)
v
Dynamic
CHPID
Management
(DCM)
channel
paths.

Yes
Yes
Use
software-only
dynamic
I/O?
Yes
Yes
Notes:
1.
HCD,
running
on
z/OS
allows
you
to
remotely
write
IOCDSs
from
one
CPC
to
another
CPC
that
is
powered
on,
LAN-attached,
enabled
for
remote
LIC
update,
and
defined
to
the
same
Hardware
Management
Console.
2.
HCD,
running
on
z/VM,
allows
you
to
define
coupling
facility
channel
paths
or
managed
channel
paths
for
a
z/OS
LP
but
z/VM
does
not
support
coupling
facility
channel
paths
or
dynamically
managed
channel
paths
for
use
by
z/VM
or
guest
operating
systems.
