    摘要: Configuring of a communications environment is facilitated. A mapping tool is provided that aids in the configuring of various components of a communications environment, such as an input/output (I/O) subsystem of the environment. Data generated from an order process and a logical configuration definition are used as input to the mapping tool. The tool performs mapping and generates as output a physical configuration definition, and optionally, one or more reports. The mapping tool has a manual function, as well as an automatic function.

    摘要: A method and system for flexibly and efficiently assigning channel path identifiers (CHPIDs) used by operating system software in computer systems to identify the communication path to I/O devices via channels. To avoid wasted CHPIDs, which may be limited in number, CHPIDs are assigned only to channels which are installed on and configured to the computer system. The CHPIDs may be re-assigned concurrently with ongoing system operations via a user interface and/or an imported, pre-defined CHPID mapping.

    摘要: A data processing I/O system having a main storage for storing data including a software configuration definition and data processing instructions arranged in programs including an operating system, a storage device for storing I/O definition files including hardware configuration information, a processor controller for containing the hardware configuration information, and a hardware storage area (HSA) connected to the processor controller for storing a hardware configuration definition. A hardware configuration definition program (HCD) builds I/O definition files (IODFs), each IODF containing at least one I/O processor configuration definition. Each processor I/O configuration definition has a hardware token for identification. The hardware configuration information for an I/O processor configuration definition, along with a copy of its hardware token, is transferred to the processor controller by an I/O configuration program (IOCP), and a hardware configuration definition is established in the HSA. The copy of the hardware token may be fetched from the HSA and compared to hardware token of the configuration definition used to establish the software configuration definition in the main storage to determine that the software and hardware configuration definitions are synchronized. If the software and hardware configuration definitions are synchronized, dynamic changes may be made to the hardware configuration definition in the HSA. A program parameter is provided to store recovery information such that if a failure occurs during a dynamic change, the previous hardware I/O configuration may be recovered or subsequent changes can be made from the point of failure.
