depending on the configuration. IBM z16 A01 ensures continuity and
upgradeability from IBM z15 T01 and IBM z14 M0x. It has five orderable
features: Max39, Max82, Max125, Max168, and Max200.
– IBM z16 A02:
• The IBM z16 A02 is built with a 19-inch format single IBM Standard frame. The
IBM z16 A02 ensures continuity and upgradeability from IBM z15 T02 and IBM
z14 ZR1. There are four orderable features: Max5, Max16, Max32, and Max68.
– IBM z16 AGZ:
• The IBM z16 AGZ indicates a rack mount configuration that allows the core
compute, I/O, and networking features to be installed into and powered by a
client-designated rack with power distribution units (PDUs), respectively. The
IBM z16 AGZ ensures continuity and upgradeability from IBM z15 T02 and IBM
z14 ZR1. The rack mount configuration options are under a combined AGZ
warranty umbrella and orderable as Max5, Max16, Max32, and Max68.

1.1 High-level goal

The goal of this book is to help you plan for and complete the configuration tasks for a
successful installation of the IBM z16 systems (machine type 3931, and machine type 3932).
It covers the planning and preparation tasks that are needed from when an IBM z16 system is
delivered and physically installed, up to the point when a logical partition (LPAR) is ready to
be activated.
This book describes the planning considerations and configuration examples in detail from
both Hardware Management Appliance (HMA), Hardware Management Console (HMC),
Support Element (SE), and input/output definition file (IODF) perspectives.
1.2 Scope
Before you perform the planning and preparation tasks that are covered in this book, some
activities must be completed:
Customers Configuration Design: Together with your team, IBM provides design and
configuration information for the installation of the IBM z16 system that you plan to
purchase.
IBM Order to Manufacturing: Your IBM representative orders the agreed upon
configuration. IBM makes available the download of the machine configuration as a
Configuration File Report (CFR). The CFR file can be obtained from the IBM Resource
Link website (authentication using your registered IBM ID is required) by using a
Configuration Control Number (CCN) that is provided by your IBM representative.
Physical installation: With support from IBM, the new order or the upgrade to an IBM z16
system is physically installed.
HMC installation: In case of a new order IBM z16 machine, HMCs as a separate physical
equipment is no longer recordable. HMC functionality is provided by ordering the optional
HMA (Hardware Management Appliance) feature instead. The HMA feature provides
redundant HMC functionality and is collocated with the Support Element in the IBM
zSystem CPC frame.
With support from IBM, the physical HMCs (if present) are upgraded to the latest version
and, if necessary, contents such as user profiles and API settings are migrated.
Note: The most recent HMCs (FC 0082, FC 0083, FC0062 and FC0063) are supported
by IBM z16.
Trusted Key Entry (TKE) installation: With support from IBM, the (optional) TKE
workstations are installed and, if necessary, contents such as user profiles and API
settings are migrated (in the situation where you replace the TKEs).
2 IBM z16 Configuration Setup

Figure 1-1 shows the steps that are required for each distinct scenario when preparing for the
installation of the IBM z16 system, which include:
Upgrading an existing IBM z14® or z15® system to an IBM z16 system
Installing a new IBM z16 system
Figure 1-1 Showing the topics that are covered in this book
The flowchart in Figure 1-1 is divided in two different main sets of task streams:
The upper stream (marked in light yellow) is based on actions that should be performed
before hardware arrival, and they are not covered in this book.
The lower stream (marked in light green) also accounts for the use of Dynamic Partition
Manager (DPM) as an option.
With DPM, system administrators have a quicker and easier way to deploy Linux on IBM Z,
z/VM®, kernel-based virtual machine (KVM), and Secure Service Container (SSC) LPARs.
DPM is a wizard-like configuration method that runs in the HMC.
Important: When DPM is enabled, the IBM z16 system cannot run z/OS, IBM z/VSEa®,
and z/TPF LPARs.
a. The IBM z16 A01 is intended to be the last IBM zSystems server to be supported by z/VSE 6.2
(5686-VS6). z/VSE has been withdrawn from marketing in September 5, 2022.
Chapter 1. Introduction 3
The flowchart in Figure 1-2 shows the required tasks to install DPM and to define LPAR
operating characteristics using the HMC. The flowchart is divided in two task streams:
The stream on the left side of the flowchart is based on actions that must be performed by
IBM on the SE as preparation before the IBM z16 system is handed over to you.
The other stream (right side of the flowchart) describes the configuration flow for a
partition using the DPM application. With the input that is provided to DPM, a configuration
is activated that is used on the IBM z16 system to host an operating system.
The actions that are defined in the two streams must be performed in sequence.

DPM automatically discovers and displays the system resources that are available for use in
your Linux on IBM Z, z/VM, KVM, and SSC LPARs. When using DPM, the partition
configuration data is created, which contains a description of all I/O functions and features
that are used on the IBM z16 system, all compute and memory resources and all Crypto
assignments.
Note: This book does not cover scenarios that use DPM. For more information about the
use of DPM, see IBM Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM) Guide, SB10-7182.
The flowchart that is presented in Figure 1-3 on page 5 describes additional tasks required to
complete the installation. The flowchart is divided in two different task streams:
One stream (left side of the flowchart) is based on actions that must be performed on the
HMC or the SE.
The other stream (right side of the flowchart) is based on definitions in the hardware
configuration management program.
The actions that are defined in the two streams can have dependencies between them.

Figure 1-3 Installation flowchart for an IBM z16 (applicable to a new system or an upgrade).
The HMC communicates with the SE (physically installed in the frame of the IBM z16 system
as an appliance), which provides communication with the IBM z16 hardware. On the
HMC/SE, you must set some parameters so that you can activate the number of LPARs that
run a supported operating system (OS). To create an IODF (see Figure 1-3), you must
perform a set of activities in an application (such as Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD),
which needs a running z/OS system. The IODF can be created on a different system than the
target system. There are many HMC/SE and IODF tasks that must be planned and prepared.
For more information, see I/O Configuration Using z/OS HCD and HCM, SG24-7804.
These flowcharts are intended to act as a checklist rather than a step-by-step procedure. The
steps in this book should provide enough information for you to replicate the approach in your
environment.
For more information about how to deploy an OS (z/OS in this case), see Mainframe from
Scratch: Hardware Configuration and z/OS Build, SG24-8329.
Chapter 1. Introduction 5
1.3 Configuration tools

Several tools are provided by IBM that can help you achieve a successful IBM z16 installation.
Whenever possible, throughout the book, lists are provided to help you go through the steps
that are required to complete a specified task.
In addition to the tools and lists that are provided in this document, ensure that the planning
and configuration steps are aligned with other technical departments within your organization
such as storage and network administration, and with the capacity (workload) planning and
cryptographic/security teams.
The configuration tools, like HCD, CHPID Mapping Tool (CMT), and the HMC and SE are
covered in Chapter 2, “Planning considerations” on page 7.

Chapter 2. Planning considerations

This chapter describes planning and configuration considerations for the IBM z16 system.
Whenever possible, worksheets that support the planning tasks are provided. Throughout this
book, we provide various definition examples by using Hardware Configuration Definition
(HCD) as the preferred method for the I/O configuration. Other tools, such as Hardware
Configuration Manager (HCM) and ICP and input/out configuration program (IOCP) are
mentioned for reference only.
Naming: The IBM z16 systems targeted by this publication consists of IBM z16 A01, IBM
z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ. Throughout this chapter, we may refer to these machines as
IBM z16. Wherever features and functions differ across these systems, they are explicitly
mentioned.
Please note that the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ are identical for the scope of this
publication. The basic difference is that the IBM z16 A02 uses the traditional Factory Frame
as in the IBM z15 T02. The IBM z16 AGZ uses a new rack mount approach, enabling the core
compute, I/O, and network content to be installed in a Client supplied datacenter
infrastructure (rack and Power Distribution Units - PDUs). Both systems have the same
machine type (3932) and share the same features and functions.
This chapter also provides a short overview of tools that IBM provides to help with configuring
your IBM z16 system and information about where to obtain the tools and their intended use.

2.1 Scenario descriptions

Throughout this book, we use two distinct scenarios to explain the tasks and procedures that
are involved to successfully install and configure an IBM z16 system.
2.1.1 Scenario 1: Upgrading an existing IBM zSystem to an IBM z16

This scenario assumes that an existing IBM zSystem is upgraded by using a miscellaneous
equipment specification (MES) to an IBM z16 system. The scenario includes a planned
outage period for the time of the physical upgrade of the machine. The software environments
that are supported by the old machine are not available during the upgrade period. The serial
number of the old machine remains the same after the upgrade to the IBM z16 system.
2.1.2 Scenario 2: Installing a new IBM z16

This scenario assumes that a new IBM z16 system is installed in an existing mainframe
environment. The IBM z16 system will be physically installed along an existing IBM zSystem
machine. After the installation of the IBM z16 system successfully completes and the system
is handed over by IBM, the software environment on the machine to be replaced must be
stopped, and recabling actions must be performed as required.
When recabling is complete, post-installation activities must be performed, and the software
environment can be brought back online on the new system (IBM z16 system). An outage
must be planned for this scenario, and a new serial number must be considered, so software
keys for the new system must be available.
Note: Physical HMCs are not orderable for a new build IBM z16. The HMC functionality for
a new IBM z16 can be provided by the Hardware Management Appliance (HMA - optional
feature - FC 0129).
2.1.3 Planning for the scenarios

In the first scenario, the physical platform identity (machine serial number) to be configured
remains the same. No hardware configuration files must be physically migrated to another
platform. No changes to the software licenses are required for products that are tied to the
machine serial number.
Note: Software licensing may change depending on the machine capacity.
In the second scenario, the physical platform to be configured changes. Hardware

configuration files must be prepared on the existing machine, and must be migrated to the
new IBM z16 system together with the attached cabling. The serial number changes with the
activation of the IBM z16 system, which means that planning and preparing for software
license changes must be considered beforehand.
In both scenarios, we assume that bringing up the existing features and functions has the
highest priority. Adding new features and functions that are acquired with the system upgrade
or installed in the new IBM z16 system have a lower priority. The elapsed time of the planned
outage can vary significantly, depending on the approach that is chosen in either scenario.

In both scenarios, some information must be obtained before starting the process of changing
to or installing the new IBM z16 system:
The new processor ID: The processor ID is used to assign a unique name to identify the
processor in the HCD. For more information, see the z/OS HCD Users Guide, SC34-2669.
The CFReport file: The CFReport file is downloadable from IBM Resource Link® by
entering a Configuration Control Number (CCN). The CCN is provided by your
IBM representative.
The system serial number: If a new IBM z16 system will be installed, a new serial number
is provided by your IBM representative.
Also, IBM does not provide fiber optic cables as features on the IBM z16 system. Therefore, a
complete analysis of the I/O connectors that are used on existing systems being upgraded to
an IBM z16 system must be made to ensure that the appropriate fiber optic cabling is
installed.
An equivalent study should be part of your preparation to install a new IBM z16 system so
that all cabling is delivered to the data center before the installation date.
All required cables for the IBM z16 should be identified and placed on order. Labeling all
cables is required for the installation. At a minimum, the labels should identify the physical
channel ID (PCHID) number.
If you already received the configuration and PCHID reports from IBM, define your coupling
links to fit your planned configuration to your new or upgraded central processor complex
(CPC).
2.2 Key tools

IBM provides several tools to help with the complexity of configuring an IBM zSystem
platform. This section summarizes the various tools that are available, and briefly outlines
their benefits for the planning process.
Table 2-1 lists the machine types for the IBM zSystems platform. The examples in this book
use tools, such as the HCD and Channel Path ID (CHPID) Mapping Tool (CMT) that refer to
the machine type as opposed to names. For more information, see Chapter 4, “Preparing an
input/output configuration program to use the CHPID Mapping Tool” on page 57.

Chapter 2. Planning considerations 9

2.2.1 IBM Resource Link

The first step in planning for the installation of the IBM z16 is to access IBM Resource Link.
You must register with Resource Link by providing a client site number, an ID, and a valid
email address. Your IBM representative can assist you with the registration process. After you
registered for an IBM ID, you can customize your profile to accommodate the platforms that
you are responsible for.
On the Resource Link website, you have access to various resources and tools that are
designed to help the installation process. A number of tools are available to simplify the
installation process of an IBM z16 system. Even if you worked with most of these tools before,
be sure to check for the latest versions that are relevant to the IBM z16.
The Education and Library tabs on the website provide information about the IBM zSystem
family and some online tutorials. Under the Tools tab, you can download the latest version of
the most frequently used tools and obtain system and configuration information.
2.2.2 Hardware Configuration Definition

HCD is a component that runs on IBM z/OS and IBM z/VM. It supplies an interactive dialog to
generate the input/output definition file (IODF) and the input/output configuration data set
(IOCDS).
Consider using HCD or HCM to generate the I/O configuration rather than writing your own
IOCP statements. HCD performs validation as you enter the data, thus minimizing the risk of
errors. This book provides examples for using HCD, with some examples that used HCM (see
“Hardware Configuration Manager” on page 10).
New hardware (an IBM z16 system) requires program temporary fixes (PTFs) to enable
definition support in HCD.
When defining devices in HCD, the hardware features can be selected according to the
physical setup of the devices that are attached to the IBM z16. Detailed forms and charts that
describe the environment facilitate the planning process.
For more information about HCD, see IBM Documentation.
Hardware Configuration Manager

HCM provides a GUI to HCD and the associated IODF. HCM runs on a workstation and can
also define and store more information about the physical hardware to which the IODF is
defined.
HCM does not replace HCD. It is used with HCD and the associated IODF. However, HCM
can be used in a stand-alone mode after an IODF is built and the configuration files
(IODF##.HCM or IODF##.HCR) are created on your HCM workstation.
For more information about HCM, see z/OS and z/VM HMC User’s Guide.
2.2.3 CHPID Mapping Tool

The CHPID Mapping Tool (CMT) provides a mechanism to map CHPIDs to PCHIDs as
required on an IBM z16 system. The CMT is optional but preferred to manually mapping the
CHPIDs to PCHIDs. Using the CMT provides the best availability recommendations for a
particular configuration.

Two files are needed to obtain an IODF file containing the correct PCHID numbers by using
CMT:
A production IODF file without PCHID numbers. For more information about how to obtain
this file, see Chapter 4, “Preparing an input/output configuration program to use the
CHPID Mapping Tool” on page 57.

obtained from the Resource Link website. The CCN is generated by your IBM Client
Representative when building the order for your configuration.

To download the CMT, log in to the Resource Link website with a registered Resource Link ID
and select “Tools”.
For more information, see the CHPID Mapping Tool Users Guide, GC28-6984. For more
information about how to use the CMT, see Chapter 4, “Preparing an input/output
configuration program to use the CHPID Mapping Tool” on page 57.

2.3 Extra tools

The additional tools that are described in this section are not used in this book. However, they
can help speed up the process of planning and configuring specific features or functions
outside of this book.
2.3.1 Input/output configuration program

ICP IOCP Version 5 Release 5.0 or later is required for an IBM z16.1 You can define the IBM
z16 configuration by using only IOCP. However, HCD is suggested because of its verification
and validation capabilities. By using ICP IOCP, it is possible to write an IOCDS in preparation
for a CPC upgrade.
For more information about the changes and requirements for ICP IOCP, see Input/Output
Configuration Program User's Guide for ICP IOCP, SB10-7177.
2.3.2 Worldwide Port Name Prediction Tool

The Worldwide Port Name (WWPN) Prediction Tool for Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP)
Channels helps prepare configuration files that are required or generated by the IBM
zSystems platform when FCP Channels are configured. In particular, this tool helps during
the installation of new systems and system upgrades.
One of the most important configuration parameters are Worldwide Port Names (WWPNs),
which uniquely identify physical or virtual Fibre Channel (FC) ports. They are typically used in
storage area network (SAN) switches to assign the corresponding ports to zones of a SAN.
They are used in storage subsystems to grant access from these ports to specific storage
devices that are identified by logical unit numbers (LUNs).
The capability of the WWPN Prediction Tool is extended to calculate and show WWPNs for
both virtual and physical ports before system installation.
The WWPN Prediction Tool, which applies to a CPC in PR/SM mode, is available for
download from IBM Resource Link and applies to all Fibre Connection (IBM FICON®)
channels that are defined as CHPID type FCP (for communication with SCSI devices) on an
IBM z16. You can access the tool on Resource Link by using your IBMid or going through the
IBM ResourceLink homepage and then selecting Tools and WWPN Tool.
WWPN Persistence
The FCP WWPNs are determined based on the I/O serial number of the CPC, the IOCDS
configuration details (for N_Port ID Virtualization, NPIV, WWPNs), and the PCHID values (for
physical WWPNs). When Feature Code 00992 (WWPN Persistence) is ordered as part of a
new or upgraded configuration for an IBM z16 system, the I/O serial number part of the
WWPN for the new IBM z16 system is the same serial number as for the source machine
configuration.
1 ICP IOCP Version 6 Release 1 Level 2 (6.1.2) is required for the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ.
2
Feature code 0099 is an information only feature code which is required to initiate an ordering option to maintain IO
serial numbers when a newly purchased system will replace an existing system within the customer’s data center.
This option eliminates the need to reconfigure zoning in SAN switches and LUN masking in storage controllers.

2.3.3 Coupling Facility Structure Sizer

Moving to a new IBM z16 system means migrating to a higher Coupling Facility Control Code
(CFCC) level (level 25). If your existing Coupling Facility (CF) data structures are adequately
sized and you want to know how much these structures might need to grow to accommodate
the same workload at the new CFCC level, you can use the current structure sizes to
calculate the new sizes. The Coupling Facility Structure Sizer (CFSizer) Tool helps you
evaluate the sizing of the CF structures.
Use the CFSizer tool to plan the amount of storage that must be allocated for CF partitions
more accurately. You can access the tool at the CFSizer page.
2.3.4 Power estimation tool

The power estimation tool is a web-based tool that you use to estimate the power
consumption for your IBM zSystems platform. For the IBM z16, based on the features
installed on the machine, the tool also estimates it's weight, air flow, exhaust temperature,
individual phase currents, and power cord wattage.
For access to this tool, see IBM Resource Link.
2.3.5 Shared Memory Communications Applicability Tool

The Shared Memory Communications Applicability Tool (SMCAT) helps you determine the
value that SMC - Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet Express (SMC-R)
and SMC - Direct Memory Access over Internal Shared Memory (SMC-D) can bring to your
environment with minimal effort and impact.
SMCAT is integrated within the TCP/IP stack and gathers new statistics that are used to
project Shared Memory Communications (SMC) applicability and benefits for the current
system. For more information, see the Shared Memory Communications Applicability Tool3.
2.3.6 IBM Z Batch Network Analyzer tool

The IBM Z Batch Network Analyzer (zBNA) tool is a PC-based productivity tool that provides
a means of estimating the elapsed time for batch jobs solely based on the differences in CPU
speeds for a base processor and a target processor, the number of engines on each system,
and system capacities. Data sharing is not considered. zBNA provides a powerful, graphic
demonstration of the z/OS batch window.
The zBNA Tool also provides the capability to project the benefits of using IBM Integrated
Accelerator for zEnterprise® Data Compression (zEDC) and the ability to estimate the benefit
of zHyperLink I/O activity.
The zBNA tool and its Users Guide can be downloaded from the IBM Z Batch Network
Analyzer (zBNA) Tool website.
3 This link points to z/OS R2V3 documentation site. The SMCAT is also available in z/OS V2R4 and V2R5.

2.4 Hardware Management Console and SE tasks

This section introduces the configuration and management tasks that are available on the
Hardware Management Console (HMC) and the Support Element (SE).
Note: HMCs and HMAs provide the same functionality. For HMA details, refer to 2.4.5
2.4.1 Activation profiles

Activation profiles must be customized by using the HMC. Activation profiles are required for
CPC and image activation. They are used to tailor the operation of a CPC and are stored in
the SE that is associated with the CPC. There are four types of activation profiles:
Reset: A reset profile is used to activate a CPC and its images.
Image: An image profile is used to activate an image of a CPC previously activated.
Load: A load profile is used to load a previously activated image with a control program or
operating system (OS).
Group: A group profile is used to define the group capacity value for all logical partitions
(LPARs) belonging to that group.
The default profiles of each of these types are provided. The Activate task activates the CPC
or image. Initially, the Default profile is selected. You can specify an activation profile other
than the Default. This feature provides you with the capability to have multiple profiles, for
example, one for every IOCDS file that is managed by the CPC.
Reset profile
Every CPC in the processor cluster needs a reset profile to determine the mode in which the
CPC Licensed Internal Code (LIC) is loaded and how much physical memory is available.
Using the reset profile, you must provide the order in which the LPARs will be activated during
a Power on Reset (POR). The maximum number of reset profiles for each CPC is 26.
For more information about how to define a reset profile, see 5.3, “Creating a reset profile on
the Support Element” on page 104.
Image profile
Each logical partition (LPAR) has an image profile. The image profile determines the number
of CPs that the image uses and whether these CPs will be dedicated to the partition or
shared. It also allows to assign the amount of initial-, and reserved storage that be used by
each partition, and points to the IOCDS slot in the SE that has the I/O configuration to be
loaded in the HSA. Depending on the Support Element model and machine type, the
maximum number of image profiles that are allowed for each CPC can be in the range of 64
to 255.
The parameters for each LPAR define these settings:

General: The Profile name and its description, the partition identifier and the mode of
operation
Processor: The number of logical Central Processors (CPs), IBM Z Integrated
Information Processors (zIIPs), and the initial processing weight assigned to the logical
partition (LPAR)

Security: The security options for this LPAR, the BCPii permissions, the counter facility
security options, the sampling facility security options and the CPACF key management
operations
Storage: The total amount and the initial amount of memory assigned to this LPAR as well
as the Virtual Flash Memory (VFM) allocation to this LPAR (if VFM is present)
Options: The I/O priority, defined capacity options and the CP management cluster name
Load: The load type and address parameters that are necessary to run an IPL for this
LPAR
Crypto: The Crypto Express parameters (also see 2.4.2, “Cryptographic configuration” on
page 15)
Note: To help you gather the necessary input, a worksheet is provided with this book. For
more information about downloading the worksheet that is associated with this material,
see Appendix A, “Additional material” on page 391.
For more information about how to define an image profile, see 5.4, “Creating an image
profile on the Support Element” on page 109.
Load profile
A load profile is needed to define the channel address of the device from which the OS is
loaded. Depending on the SE model and machine type, the maximum number of load profiles
for each CPC is 64 - 255.
Group profile
A group profile defines the group capacity value that can be customized in determining the
allocation and management of processor resources that are assigned to the LPAR in a group.
This profile does not contain the names of the LPAR images that make up the group.
2.4.2 Cryptographic configuration

The activation profile that you use to activate an LPAR prepares it for running software
products that use the Crypto Express feature. Using the feature’s cryptographic facilities and
functions requires customizing the LPAR’s activation profile to accomplish these tasks:
Install the CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) Data Encryption
Standard/Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) Enablement feature if you are planning
to use Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF).
Give the LPAR access to at least one Crypto Express feature. This goal is accomplished
by selecting from the Usage Domain Index and the Cryptographic Candidate list.
Load the LPAR with an OS, such as z/OS, that supports using cryptographic functions.
For more information about the cryptographic feature, see 10.1, “Crypto Express8S” on
page 232.

2.4.3 LPAR group control

Here are methods that can be used to limit the processor capacity usage for a single LPAR or
a group of LPARs and help you control software cost:
Edit Group Capacity: Use this method to define a group of LPARs on the same CPC and a
limit for the combined capacity usage by those LPARs. The system can manage the group
in such a way that the limit for Group Capacity in MSU per hour is not exceeded.
Absolute Capping: Use this method to specify the absolute capping for the selected
processor type to indicate the new setting. Absolute Capping is managed by IBM
Processor Resource/System Manager (PR/SM) independent of the OS running in the
capped LPARs.
Both methods (Group Capacity and Absolute Capping) can be used concurrently and in
combination with LPAR capping.
Consider reevaluating the parameters in a scenario where the values must be migrated from
a previous generation of the IBM zSystem to an IBM z16 system.
Tip: Capacity management by using capping technologies is an ongoing process that must
be monitored and adjusted over time. Temporary or permanent capacity changes also
must be considered when using capping technologies.
A good overview of the capping technologies and 4-hour rolling average (4HRA) optimization
can be found in the Capping Technologies and 4HRA Optimization document.
2.4.4 Consoles and terminals

The Open Systems Adapter (OSA) Integrated Console Controller (ICC) or OSA-ICC function
of the OSA-Express 1000Base-T and the OSA-Express7S Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)4 features
support TN3270 enhancements (TN3270E) and non-Systems Network Architecture (SNA)
distributed function terminal (DFT) 3270 emulation. Planning for an IBM z16 OSA-ICC
implementation requires input from a number of disciplines within an organization:
IBM zSystem I/O subsystem configuration
OS configuration
OSA-Express feature configuration
Ethernet local area network (LAN) configuration
Client TN3270E configuration
Notea: IBM z15 is planned to be the last generation of IBM zSystems to support channel
type OSC on the OSA-Express 1000Base-T Adapter.
IBM z15™ is planned to be the last IBM zSystems to support the use of the Transport
Layer Security protocol versions 1.0 (TLS 1.0) and version 1.1 (TLS 1.1) for establishing
secure connections to the Support Element (SE), Hardware Management Console (HMC),
and Open Systems Adapter (OSA) Integrated Console Controller (channel path type
OSC).

discretion. Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should
not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
In HCD, the OSA-Express feature must be defined to operate as an ICC. The configuration
requirements are as follows:

IBM zSystems I/O subsystem configuration: The same basic rules for adding an OSA-ICC
adapter apply as to any other new device.
OS configuration: To have a Nucleus Initialization Program Console available, make sure
that the correct device number is defined in the HCD OS “Work with consoles” dialog.
During an upgrade from an existing IBM zSystems platform to an IBM z16 system, the same
definitions can be used for the new machine as on the source configuration.
The following planning topics must be considered:

Reserve at least one OSA-Express port with the correct support to be defined as channel
type OSC.
Define 3270-X Devices in HCD to act as system consoles.
Use OSA Advanced Facilities to configure the sessions.
The OSA-Express feature also requires configuration tasks to be performed on the HMC by
using the OSA Advanced Facilities task. Collect information for the following parameters
before starting the configuration activities:
OSA-ICC server: Name, Host IP address, TCP port number, Gateway IP address, the
network type, and the MTU size
OSA-ICC session definitions: Channel subsystem (CSS), the Multiple Image Facility (MIF)
(LPAR) ID, Device number, LU-name, client IP address, IP Filter, the session type, defer
host disconnect (DHD), response mode (RSP9), and read timeout (RTO)
Note: Consider defining multiple sessions per LPAR to allow access for a number of users
concurrently.
For an upgrade of an existing IBM zSystem to an IBM z16 system, these definitions can be
exported from the source machine by using onboard HMC facilities and imported back again
after the upgrade is complete.
For more information about the definitions, see Chapter 7, “Defining console communication”
on page 185. For implementation details, see the OSA-Express Integrated Console Controller
Implementation Guide, SG24-6364.
2.4.5 Hardware Management Appliance

The Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a closed system (appliance), which means
that no other applications can be installed on it. The HMC application runs a set of
management functions.
On a new build IBM z16, two virtual HMC and two Support Element (SE) appliances will be
delivered, packaged in the Hardware Management Appliance (HMA) feature FC 01295. The
HMA was first introduced with the IBM z15. They run on both of the two integrated 1U
rack-mounted servers on the top of the IBM z16 A frame (see picture below).
Figure 2-2 on page 18 shows the physical location of the redundant 1U rack-mounted servers
supporting the HMA on a fully equipped IBM z16 machine with the iPDU option installed.
5 FC0129 is optional and can be ordered later as an MES.

Physical HMCs (Tower or Rack Mounted) can no longer be ordered with a new IBM z16
machine. You can use an upgraded IBM z16 (either upgraded from an IBM z14 or an IBM
z15) with previously ordered physical HMCs and no HMA. It is possible to order the HMA
feature (FC 0129) at a later point in time as an MES.
Note: Standalone HMC are still supported for IBM z16, only as Carry forward for MES.
However, IBM z16 HMC code is last level to support Standalone HMC.
Please refer to IBM z16 (3931) Technical Guide SG24-8951 or IBM z16 (3932) Technical
Guide SG24-8952, Chapter 10.1 "HMC and SE introduction".
For further details including feature codes for the supported physical HMCs.
2.4.6 Hardware Management Console considerations

With IBM z16 and HMA, the Support Element Console Appliance is a licensed application
that provides the tasks you will use to monitor and operate your system. The appliance is
shipped with each Support Element hardware installed on the top of the IBM z16 A frame
HMAs. One SE appliance runs as the designated Primary (or active) SE and the other as the
designated Alternate (or backup) SE. As with the HMC, the SEs are closed systems, and no
other applications can be installed on the same environment.
Figure 2-3 on page 19 Shows the evolution of the HMC/SE environment including the HMA
offering introduced with IBM z15.

The HMC is used to set up, manage, monitor, and operate one or more CPCs. It manages
IBM zSystems hardware, its logical partitions (LPARs), and provides support applications. At
least one HMC is required to operate an IBM Z. An HMC can manage multiple IBM zSystems
CPCs. When tasks are performed at the HMC, the commands are routed to the Primary SE of
the IBM z16. The SE then issues those commands to the targeted CPC.
For further details including feature codes for the supported physical HMCs, please refer to
IBM z16 (3931)Technical Guide SG24-8951 or IBM z16 (3932) Technical Guide SG24-8952,
Chapter 10.1 "HMC and SE introduction".
HMC users
Passwords rules for all default users have changed. In 2018 the state of California passed the
so called "password law" that bans the use of default passwords in connected devices (see:
California SB-327 law). It requires that any default passwords shipped with connected devices
are:
Changed on installation or
unique per device shipped.
These rules are implemented by IBM on all IBM z16 devices worldwide. Therefore, a first
logon to a default user will force a password logon change. The client will be responsible for
maintaining the passwords.
Note: Default users defined on the IBM z16 machines will be ACSADMIN & SERVICE only.
Former default users ADVANCED, OPERATOR, STORAGEADMIN and SYSPROG will no
longer be shipped.
Default user roles ADVANCED, OPERATOR, STORAGEADMIN and SYSPROG however will
continued to be shipped, and user IDs can be created from those.

Since the password for the SERVICE default user must be changed, every client needs to
establish a plan for the authorized access to the password for this user, because:
IBM SSRs (System Serviceability Reps) may be a different person for various visits.
IBM SSRs may show up at any time (including middle of night) ==> For planned
(maintenance actions) or unplanned (repair actions) activities involving an IBM Z.
The client should be ready to provide the user id and the password to the SSR upon arrival on
site.
The client should maintain list of unique Service IDs and passwords.
The client also needs to establish a process for the hand over of user ids and passwords
to the SSR to avoid service delays.
Configure data replication task

Data replication between the various HMCs is a simple and effective way to keep all the
parameters and settings in synch.
As data is replicated from one Hardware Management Console to another, an internal level
indicator for the data being replicated is incremented each time the data is altered on the data
source. Each Hardware Management Console keeps track of the level indicator for each type
of data and will not accept data from a data source when the level indicator is not greater than
that on the receiving Hardware Management Console.
HMC data replication service setup is wizard guided process on the HMC. When logged on
as a ACSADMIN, click on the Task Index on the left side of the panel, then click on Configure
Data Replication. Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 on page 21 show the entry level for setting up
the data replication task.
Figure 2-4 Entry panel for configuring HMC data replication task

Follow the panels and complete the setup of the data replication task.
Figure 2-5 Shows the panel where HMC role selection for replication can be done.
2.4.7 Support Element settings

The SEs that are supplied with the IBM z16 are two appliances that are supported by the 1U
HMA servers. Both HMA units are installed at the top of the A frame. One runs the primary SE
appliance, and the other runs the alternative SE.
Generally, the SE settings are considered part of the physical installation of the IBM z16, so
they are not presented in this book. For a new IBM z16 system, a new range of TCP/IP
addresses must be provided by the customer to the IBM System Services Representative
(IBM SSR) who performs the physical installation. As an extra measure of security,
provisioning of a separate LAN segment for the management functions is preferred. During
an upgrade from an older IBM zSystems platform to an IBM z16, the current settings on the
SEs should be backed up for migration purposes.
In addition to the standard SE configuration, there might be other parameters that should be
backed up, such as the API settings. These parameters can be accessed through the
Customize API Settings task on the SE.
Any default user IDs which are part of a previous HMC level can be carried forward to new
HMC levels as part of a MES upgrade or via the selection of:
User profile data for the Save / Restore customizable console data or Configuration Data
Replication tasks
Figure 2-6 on page 22 shows a picture of the main selection panel on the SE.

Figure 2-6 Save/Restore Customizable Console Data
In Figure 2-6 the option to save data to a FTP server has been selected. At the time this book
has been written, the USB Interfaces on the 1U SE servers where still available to the client.
However it is good practice to provide access to a FTP server for all the clients attached to the
HMC LAN.
2.4.8 Precision Time Protocol

The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) standard enables accurate and precise synchronization of
the real-time clocks of devices in networked distributed systems. The protocol is applicable to
systems where devices communicate via networks, including Ethernet. The standard allows
multicast communication, unicast communication or both.
PTP enables heterogeneous systems that include clocks of various inherent precision,
resolution, and stability to synchronize to a grandmaster clock. The protocol supports
synchronization in the sub-microsecond range with minimal network bandwidth and local
clock computing resources. The protocol enhances support for synchronization to better
than1 nanosecond.
2.4.9 Server Time Protocol

The Server Time Protocol (STP) provides the means by which the time of day (TOD) clocks in
various systems can be synchronized by using messages that are transported over coupling
links. STP operates along with the TOD-clock steering facility to provide a new timing mode,
timing states, external interrupts, and machine check conditions.
2.4.10 PTP/STP Planning Considerations

The HMC provides a user interface to manage an STP-only CTN. Managing system time on
an IBM z16 system with STP requires the appropriate HMC level (V2.16.0 minimum). SE
menus for STP on an IBM z16 are no longer available.

STP connectivity for an IBM z16 system: Timing data is exchanged between IBM
zSystems using coupling links. The IBM z16 system can connect to an IBM z14 M0x, IBM
z14 ZR1, an IBM z15 T01, an IBM z15 T02 or another IBM z16 system with compatible
coupling links (N-2 generations coupling link). Make sure that you have the appropriate
coupling and timing connectivity in your IBM z16 system before assigning a role in the
Coordinated Timing Network (CTN) (Preferred Time Server (PTS), Backup Time Server
(BTS) and Arbiter).
Consider the following items when setting up an HMC for STP or PTP:
Physical connection to the time servers (PTP or NTP) is no longer established via the
HMC but directly to the CEC.
A CTN ID, which must be unique for all IBM zSystems that are part of the CTN.
To synchronize IBM zSystems to an External Time Source (ETS), Network Time Protocol
(NTP) or Precision Time Protocol (PTP) server information (and network connectivity that
uses the NTP, NTPS or PTP protocol with optional pulse per second (PPS)) must be
provided.
The time zone offset, Daylight Saving Time offset, and leap second offset.
For the IBM zSystems that are part of a CTN, roles must be planned (PTS, BTS, Current
Time Server (CTS), and Arbiter).
As part of the migration, changing the CTS role of the server to be migrated must be done
before migration to the new platform (IBM z16 system).
Note: Since IBM z15 support for STP stratum level 4a is provided. This feature helps
avoiding the additional complexity and expense of system reconfiguration. All systems that
might become exposed to this situation should have this change installed. Stratum level 4
should be used only during a migration, and for a short period.
a. Stratum 4 is a temporary status to allow more options to move and replace machines and reconfigure CTN.
Although STP stratum level 4 is supported, it should not be used for permanent configurations. Stratum 4 should be
used for transitional configurations, during CTN maintenance.
For more information, see Chapter 8, “Preparing for IBM Parallel Sysplex and Server Time
Protocol overview” on page 199.
2.5 IODF configuration

This section describes I/O configuration considerations in the IODF.
2.5.1 Logical channel subsystems

The IBM zSystems platform manages I/O resources (LPARs, channel paths, and control units
(CUs), and I/O devices) by housing them in multiple logical channel subsystems (LCSSs).
A spanned channel path is a channel that can be used by partitions in more than one LCSS.
You must use the same CHPID value across all LCSSs sharing a spanned channel. However,
LCSSs that do not share a spanned channel can use that CHPID for other channels.
For more information, see z/OS Hardware Configuration Definition Planning, GA32-0907.

Your planning should consider multiple LCSSs so that you can logically partition your physical
channel resources to accommodate large-scale enterprise workload connectivity and
high-bandwidth demands. The IBM z16 A01 supports six LCSSs and the IBM z16 A02 and
IBM z16 AGZ support three LCSSs. The IBM z16 A01 has four subchannel sets (SSs) in each
LCSS with up to 256 channels, for a total of 1536 channels. The IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16
AGZ have three SSs in each LCSS with up to 256 channels for a total of 768 channels.
Additionally, LCSSs provide for multiple SSs for expanding the number of I/O devices that are
managed in each CSS. With the IBM z16 A01, up to four SSs of approximately 64,000 device
addresses are available. The base addresses are defined to (SS0) subchannel set zero). IBM
reserves 256 subchannels on set 0 and the aliases addresses are defined to set 1, set 2, and
set 3.
With the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ, up to three SSs of approximately 64,000 device
addresses are available. The base addresses are defined to set 0 (IBM reserves 256
subchannels on set 0) and the aliases addresses are defined to set 1 and set 2.
Not all device types are eligible for nonzero SSs. SS0 can be used for any type of device.
More SSs (for example, SS1) can be used only for certain classes of devices, such as parallel
access volume alias devices.
For more information, see IBM z16 (3931) Technical Guide, SG24-8951 and IBM z16 (3932)
Technical Guide, SG24-8952. Use multiple SSs to move devices of eligible device types to
more SSs, and then define more physical devices to SS0.
2.5.2 Logical partitions

The PR/SM feature allows a single IBM zSystem to run multiple Operating Systems (OSs)
and Coupling Facilities (CFs) in LPAR mode. Each OS and each CF has its own LPAR, which
contains a separate set of system resources that includes these items:
A portion of storage (memory).
One or more central and specialty processors. The processors can be dedicated or
shared.
Profile data can be exported on the older IBM zSystems platform and imported on the IBM
z16 system. If the LPAR data is imported from an older IBM zSystems platform, consider the
LPAR sizing before the LPAR migration to the IBM z16 system. For more information, see the
Support Element Operations Guide (link requires an IBM Resource Link valid userid to
access).
For more information about how to define LPARs in IODF, see Chapter 3, “Preparing for a
new IBM z16 system” on page 37.
Planning considerations for Virtual Flash Memory

VFM (Feature Code 0644) is available in 512 GB increments of memory. An IBM z16 A01 can
have up to 12 VFM features (four VFM features for the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ). While
planning your memory, you must consider your VFM requirements.
With the introduction of VFM, there are no changes to the existing OS interface for handling
the storage-class memory (SCM). The OS handles VFM the same way as it does Flash
Express. The allocation of VFM storage is done during LPAR activation because the LPAR
hypervisor manages the partition memory.
Both the initial and maximum amounts of VFM are specified in the LPAR image profile. VFM
can be added to or deleted from OSs by using existing SCM commands after the LPAR is

activated. VFM allocation and definition for all partitions can be displayed on the Storage
Information window on the HMC and by using SCM commands in z/OS.
VFM allocation: The VFM values for Initial and Maximum allocations cannot be
dynamically changed. One or more partitions must be activated (or reactivated) for VFM
allocation changes to take effect.
As a best practice, assign the maximum amount that is installable for all LPARs that are
candidates for using VFM, and set Initial allocation to 0 (zero) for the LPARs that do not
require immediate activation of VFM. By doing so, you ensure that you can later use any
available VFM when required.
At partition activation time, over-commitment of VFM storage is supported. This setting

enables more storage to be added to partitions that is subject to the amount that is not
assigned to other partitions.
For more information, see 10.2.3, “Configuring VFM” on page 264.
If the total amount of VFM that is allocated to all active partitions is equal to the LICC value
but the sum of active partition maximums is larger than the installed amount, the client might
be able to concurrently add VFM and increase allocations without reactivating partitions. This
feature is illustrated in the following sections.
Non-disruptive migration
Here is an example of a non-disruptive migration:
An IBM z16 has three VFM features that are installed (512 GB each), with a LICC value of
1.5 TB.
LPAR A has 1.0 TB assigned, with a maximum value of 1.5 TB.
LPAR B has 512 GB assigned, with a maximum value of 1.0 TB.
You must assign 1 TB to LPAR B, but this change is not possible within the constraints of
the installed VFM.
You purchase and install another 512 GB VFM feature and install it concurrently. Now, up
to 512 GB can be added concurrently to LPAR B without reactivating the LPAR.
Figure 2-7 shows the non-disruptive migration example.
Figure 2-7 Non-disruptive VFM migration example

Disruptive migration
Here is an example of a disruptive migration:
An IBM z16 has two VFM features that are installed (512 GB per feature), with a LICC
value of 1.0 TB.
LPAR A has 512 GB assigned, with a maximum value of 1.0 TB.
LPAR B has 256 GB assigned, with a maximum value of 1.0 TB.
You must change LPAR A so that it can have up to 1.5 TB. This change falls outside the
range of the maximum installed VFM.
You purchase and install two additional 512 GB VFM features concurrently (assuming that
the memory is ordered and available). Now, you must reactive LPAR A with the new
maximum VFM value of at least 1.5 TB and less than or equal to 2.0 TB.
Note: Plan-Ahead Memory is not available on the IBM z16.
Figure 2-8 shows the disruptive VFM migration example.
Figure 2-8 Disruptive VFM migration example
For more information about how to configure VFM, see 10.2, “Virtual Flash Memory” on
page 263.
2.5.3 Storage connectivity

FICON Express32S, FICON Express16SA6 and FICON Express16S+ features provide
connectivity to storage devices by using FICON or FCP protocols. FICON Express32S
supports negotiation to 8, 16 or 32 gigabytes per second (Gbps) link data rates. 2 and 4 Gbps
transfer rate can be achieved through a FICON Director with 8-, or 16 Gbps Optics. FICON
Express16S+ features support auto negotiation to 4, 8, and 16 Gbps and FICON Express
16SA supports 8 and 16 Gbps data link rates.
The FICON Express features support High Performance FICON for IBM Z (zHPF). zHPF is an
extension to the FICON architecture that provides performance improvement for single-track
and multi-track operations.
6 FiCON EXPRESS 16SA is not supported on the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ.

On a new IBM z16 system, only the FICON Express32S features can be ordered. The FICON
Express16SA and FICON Express16S+ can be carried forward when upgrading from an older
IBM Z.
Note: With the FICON Express32S, the FICON Express16SA and FICON Express16S+
features, both ports must be configured either as channel type FC or FCP. A mixed
configuration is not allowed.
For more information about how to configure the FICON Express32S feature, see Chapter 12,
“Adding storage devices” on page 279.
IBM zHyperlink Express

zHyperLink Express is a short-distance IBM zSystems I/O channel that is designed for up to
10x lower latency than High Performance FICON. zHyperLink is intended to speed IBM Db2®
for z/OS transaction processing and improve active log throughput. This feature is in the
PCIe+ I/O drawer and is a two-port card that is used for short-distance direct connectivity
between an IBM z16 system and an IBM DS8000 system. It uses PCIe Gen3 technology with
x16 lanes that are bifurcated into x8 lanes for storage connectivity.
zHyperLink Express is designed for distances up to 150 meters and support a link data rate of
8 GBps. A zHyperlink port is fully sharable between all partitions because 127 virtual
functions (VFs) / PCIe function IDs (PFIDs) per link are supported.
IBM zHyperLink dramatically reduces the latency of direct access storage device I/Os by
interconnecting the IBM z16 system directly to the I/O bay of a DS8880 or later storage
system. This feature improves the application response time without application changes.
zHyperLink is fast enough to run I/Os synchronously so that the CPU can wait for the data,
which results in the following advantages:
No undispatch of the running task
No CPU queuing delays to resume it
No host CPU cache disruption
Small I/O service time
The zHyperLink Express adapter takes one slot on IBM z16 PCIe+ I/O drawer, and each
adapter has a single PCHID with two ports. Up to 16 zHyperLink Express adapters can be
installed in one IBM z16 system, thus having up to 32 links.
FICON connectivity to each storage system is still required for these purposes:
For initialization of the zHyperLink connection
For I/Os that are not eligible for zHyperLink
For fallback when a zHyperLink request fails (for example, cache miss or busy condition)
For more information about the zHyperLink feature, see IBM z16 (3931) Technical Guide,
SG24-8951, IBM z16 (3932) Technical Guide, SG24-8952, IBM zSystems Connectivity
Handbook, SG24-5444, and Getting Started with IBM zHyperLink for z/OS, REDP-5493.
For more information about defining zHyperLink Express, see 15.2.5, “Defining a zHyperLink
PCIe function” on page 383.
For more information about zHyperLink Express management, see “Managing zHyperLink
Express” on page 387.

2.5.4 Network connectivity

This section provides planning considerations for deploying the following network-related
features:
OSA-Express features
SMC:
– SMC-R
– SMC-D
HiperSockets
OSA-Express
The OSA-Express features are installed in an IBM z16 PCIe+ I/O drawer. The features are
available as different types and support several networking protocols. Depending on the types
of OSA-Express features that are installed in the IBM z16 system, the following attachment
characteristics are supported:
Copper-based Ethernet (1000 Mbps)
Fiber-based GbE Short Wave (SX), and Long Wave (LX)
Fiber-based 10-GbE Short Reach (SR) and Long Reach (LR)
Fiber-based 25-GbE Short Reach (SR) and Long REach (LR)
Based on the intended use, the operating modes must be defined with a channel type and
device address. For configuration details, see Chapter 6, “Configuring network features” on
page 133 and the OSA-Express Implementation Guide, SG24-5948.
Starting with Driver Level 22 (HMC V2.13.0), HMC is enhanced to take advantage of the
Open Systems Adapter/Support Facility (OSA/SF) function. For the OSA-Express7S,
OSA-Express6S, and OSA-Express5S features, OSA/SF on the HMC is required. The
OSA/SF is used primarily for these purposes:
Manage all OSA-Express ports.
Configure all OSA-Express non-queued direct input/output (QDIO) ports.
Configure local Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
Display registered Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) addresses (in use and not in use).
OSA/SF is supported on an IBM zSystems platform for QDIO ports.
Display registered IPv4 or IPv6 Virtual MAC addresses and virtual local area network
(VLAN) IDs that are associated with all OSA-Express features that are configured as
QDIO Layer 2.
Provide status information about an OSA-Express port and its shared or exclusive use
state.
For more information about the use of OSA/SF on the HMC, see 6.3, “Customizing
OSA-Express by using OSA Advanced Facilities” on page 136.
Note: OSA-Express6S 1000Base-T adapter (Feature Code 0426) is the last generation of
OSA-Express 1000Base-T adapters to support connections operating at 100 Mbps link
speed. OSA-Express7S 1.2 1000ase-T (Feature Code 0458) supports 1000 Mbps duplex
link speed only.
The following adapters are supported on an IBM z16:

10 GbE RoCE Express3 SR (FC 0440)
10 GbE RoCE Express3 LR (FC 0441)
25 GbE RoCE Express3 SR (FC 0452)

25 GbE RoCE Express3 LR (FC 0453)

10 GbE RoCE Express2.1 (FC 0432)
25 GbE RoCE Express2.1 (FC 0450)
10 GbE RoCE Express2 (FC 0412)
25 GbE RoCE Express2 (FC 0430)
SMC-R
The RoCE Express features mentioned above are designed to help reduce CPU consumption
for applications that use the TCP/IP stack without requiring application changes. Using the
RoCE Express features also helps to reduce network latency by using the SMC-R protocol in
z/OS V2.1 or later. For more information, see RFC 7609. SMC-R is transparent to
applications and can be used for LPAR-to-LPAR communications on a single IBM zSystems
platform or for server-to-server communications across multiple IBM Z platforms.
SMC-R uses existing IBM zSystems and industry standard communications technology:
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), which is based on queue pair (QP) technology
that also uses an InfiniBand transport service type that is called reliable connected QP
(RC-QP), which provides these features:
– Represents SMC Links in a logical point-to-point connection.
– Transports data over unique RDMA network interface cards (RNICs) that are logically
bound together to form Link Groups. Link Groups are used for high availability (HA)
and load balancing needs.
Ports in the IBM zSystems RoCE Express features (also referred to as RNICs) are used
as the physical transport layer for RDMA.
Single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCIe standard that defines extensions to PCIe
specifications. SR-IOV enables sharing of RoCE Express ports between IBM z16 LPARs.
SMCv1 and SMCv2:

SMCv1 connectivity is limited to hosts that are directly attached to a common single IP
subnet. SMCv2 Introduces the key concepts of the SMC over multiple IP subnets. SMCv2
reuses the existing SMCv1 (CLC and LLC) messages. For more information about the SMC
message (wire) flows, refer to RFC 7609.
SMC-R is an open protocol that was initially introduced in z/OS V2R1 on the IBM zEC12.
SMC-R is defined in an informational RFC entitled IBM’s Shared Memory Communications
over RDMA. See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7609.
SMC-D is a variation of SMC-R. SMC-D is closely related to SMC-R but is based on the
Internal Shared Memory (ISM) capabilities introduced with the IBM z13™ hardware model.
For more information about the RoCE Express features and about SMC-R, see IBM z16
(3931) Technical Guide, SG24-8951, IBM z16 (3932) Technical Guide, SG24-8952, and IBM
z/OS V2R2 Communications Server TCP/IP Implementation Volume 1, SG24-8360.
Planning for an SMC-R configuration

Deployment of the RoCE Express features is supported in either point-to-point configuration
or switched configurations. When planning to deploy RoCE Express features in a switched
configuration, the switches must support the following requirements:
Global Pause function frame (as described in the IEEE 802.3x standard) should be
enabled.
Priority Flow Control (PFC) should be disabled.

Firewalls and IP Layer 3 routing are not supported.

Shared Memory Communications-RDMA Version 2 (SMC-Rv2) with RoCE Express2 and
RoCE Express3 features lifts the single IP subnet limitation for workloads across separate
physical IBM Systems Z machines, spanning to multiple IP subnets.
The 10 and the 25 GbE RoCE Express3 provides two physical ports with appropriate
optics (no mix of LR/SR optics).
For a 25 GbE RoCE Express3 in a switched configuration, the Switch port must support
25GbE.
IBM provides the Shared Memory Communications Applicability Tool (SMCAT), which helps
determine the potential gains of using SMC-R in an environment (see 2.3.5, “Shared Memory
Communications Applicability Tool” on page 13).
RoCE Express features port configuration:
For 10 GbE RoCE Express2 and newer features, the port number is configured with the
function ID (FID) number in HCD (or IOCDS), and the port number must be configured
(there is no default).
When defining a FID in the TCP/IP profile for 10 GbE RoCE Express2 or newer features,
the port number is no longer applicable.
When preparing to deploy the RoCE Express features, consider the following items:
The RoCE Express features are native PCIe features, so the following configuration items
must be provided:
– FID
– Type
– PCHID
– Virtual function ID (VFID)
– Port number
Determine which LPARs will be shared by one RoCE Express port.
Assign the VFs between the sharing LPARs as needed.
For configuration details, see 15.2.3, “Defining a RoCE PCIe function” on page 376.
For 10 GbE RoCE Express2 or later features management details, see “RoCE management”

SMC-D
SMC-D uses ISM virtual PCIe (vPCIe) adapters to provide direct memory access (DMA)
communications between LPARs inside the same IBM zSystem.
SMC-D is a protocol that allows TCP socket applications to transparently use ISM. ISM is a
virtual channel like Internal Queued Direct (IQD) for HiperSockets. A virtual adapter is created
in each z/OS LPAR and by using the SMC protocol, the memory is logically shared. The
virtual network is provided by firmware.
SMC-R requires a TCP/IP connection and preserves the entire network infrastructure.
SMC-D is also a “hybrid” solution. It uses a TCP connection to establish the SMC-D
connection. The TCP path can be either through an OSA-Express port or through a
HiperSockets connection. A TCP option (called SMCD) controls switching from TCP to “out of
band” SMC-D. The SMC-D information is exchanged within the TCP data stream. Socket

application data is exchanged through ISM (write operations). The TCP connection remains
established to control the SMC-D connection.
Shared Memory Communications-Direct Version 2 (SMC-Dv2) with ISMv2 lifts the single IP
subnet limitation for an IBM zSystem (CPC) extending the SMC-D solution and potential
savings to additional IBM zSystem workloads in the Enterprise.
For more information about SMC-D, see IBM zSystems Connectivity Handbook, SG24-5444
and IBM z/OS Communications Server 2.5 New Function Summary, GC27-3664-50 here
Planning for an SMC-D configuration

From a planning standpoint, SMC-D is like SMC-R, so the same considerations apply. The
objective is to provide consistent operations and management tasks for both SMC-D and
SMC-R. SMC-D uses a new virtual PCI adapter that is called ISM. The ISM interfaces are
associated with IP interfaces (for example, HiperSockets or OSA-Express; ISM interfaces do
not exist without an IP interface).
ISM interfaces are not defined in software. Instead, ISM interfaces are dynamically defined
and created, and automatically started and stopped. You do not need to operate (start or
stop) the ISM interfaces. Unlike RoCE, ISM FIDs (PFIDs) are not defined in software. Instead,
they are auto-discovered based on their PNet ID.
Before implementing SMC-R or SMC-D, check your environment for the following items:
Run SMCAT to evaluate applicability and potential value. For more information about
SMCAT, see IBM z/OS SMC Applicability Test (SMCAT) and 2.3.5, “Shared Memory
Communications Applicability Tool” on page 13.
Review and adjust the available real memory and fixed memory usage limits (z/OS and
CS) as needed. SMC requires fixed memory. You might need to review the limits and
provision more real memory for z/OS.
Review the IP topology, VLAN usage considerations, and IPSec.
Review changes to messages, monitoring information, and diagnostic tools. There are
numerous updates to these items:
– Messages (IBM Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (IBM VTAM®) and TCP
stack)
– The netstat command (status, monitoring, and display information)
– CS diagnostic tools (VIT, Packet trace, CTRACE, and IPCS formatted memory dumps)
For more information about SMC-D and SMC-R planning and security considerations, see
IBM Documentation, and select the links for SMC-R and SMC-D.
For more information about how to define SMC-D, see 15.2.2, “Defining an ISM PCIe
function” on page 372.
For an overview about how to manage an SMC-D connection, see “ISM management” on
page 376.
Native PCIe feature plugging and Resource Groups

Native PCIe feature support is provided by Resource Group (RG) code running on the
integrated firmware processors (IFPs). The IFPs are allocated from the pool of non-client
cores available for the whole system. Unlike other characterized cores, the customer doesn’t
pay for the IFPs. In IBM z16 two cores are characterized as IFPs, dedicated solely for the
purpose of supporting the native PCIe features and are initialized at POR if these features are
present.

The IBM z16 has four Resource Groups (RGs) which have firmware for:
10GbE and 25GbE RoCE Express3 (LR and SR)
10GbE and 25GbE RoCE Express2.1 (SR)
10GbE and 25GbE RoCE Express2 (SR)
zHyperLink Express 1.1
Coupling Express2 LR
For resilience, there are always four independent RGs on the system that share the IFP. For
HA purposes, always use at least two PCIe features that are in different RGs, as shown in
Figure 2-9.
Figure 2-9 Relationship among PCIe+ I/O drawer slots, domains, and RGs in the IBM z16
HiperSockets
HiperSockets provide the fastest TCP/IP communications between z/OS, z/VM, IBM z/VSE,
and Linux LPARs within an IBM z16 system because they act like internal VLANs by using
LIC and supporting device drivers in the OSs. HiperSockets establishes a network with higher
availability, security, simplicity, performance, and cost-effectiveness than can be achieved by
using an external IP network.
The HiperSockets function is based on the OSA-Express QDIO protocol, so HiperSockets is

called internal queued direct input/output (IQDIO). LIC emulates the link control layer of an
OSA-Express QDIO interface and uses no physical cabling or external networking
connections. Data access is performed at memory speeds, bypassing external network
delays and providing users with high-speed logical LANs with minimal system and network
impact.
HiperSockets can be defined as MIF-shared in a CSS and as spanned channels across

multiple CSSs. A HiperSockets CHPID can be seen as an internal LAN to the server. The
level of sharing is determined by the LPARs that you want to grant access to that LAN.

HiperSockets is supported by the following OSs:

All in-service z/OS releases
All in-service z/VM releases
All in service z/VSE releases
Linux on IBM Z
On an IBM z16 system, HiperSockets support the following functions:

HiperSockets broadcast
Supported across HiperSockets on IPv4 for applications. Applications that use the
broadcast function can propagate the broadcast frames to all TCP/IP applications that are
using HiperSockets. This support is applicable in Linux, z/OS, and z/VM environments.
VLAN support
VLANs are supported by Linux on IBM Z and z/OS for HiperSockets. VLANs can reduce
processing impact by enabling networks to be organized by traffic patterns rather than
physical location. This enhancement enables traffic flow on a VLAN connection both over
HiperSockets and between HiperSockets and OSA-Express Ethernet features.
IPv6 support on HiperSockets
HiperSockets Network Concentrator
Traffic between HiperSockets and OSA-Express can be transparently bridged by using the
HiperSockets Network Concentrator. This configuration eliminates intervening network
routing processing impact, resulting in increasing performance and a simplified network
configuration. This improvement is achieved by configuring a connector Linux system that
has HiperSockets and OSA-Express connections that are defined to it.
HiperSockets Layer 2 support
HiperSockets supports two transport modes on the IBM z16 Layer 2 (Link Layer) and
Layer 3 (Network and IP Layer).
As with Layer 3 functions, HiperSockets Layer 2 devices can be configured as primary or
secondary connectors or multicast routers. These configurations enable high performance
and HA Link Layer switches between the HiperSockets network and external Ethernet.
HiperSockets multiple write facility
HiperSockets performance is increased by enabling streaming of bulk data over a
HiperSockets link between LPARs. Multiple writes with fewer I/O interrupts reduce the
processor usage of both the sending and receiving LPARs, and it is supported in z/OS.
HiperSockets Completion Queue
The HiperSockets Completion Queue function is designed to allow HiperSockets to
transfer data synchronously if possible, and asynchronously if necessary. This function
combines ultra-low latency with more tolerance for traffic peaks.
With the asynchronous support, during high volume situations, data can be temporarily
held until the receiver has buffers that are available in its inbound queue. This function
provides end-to-end performance improvement for LPAR to LPAR communication.
HiperSockets Virtual Switch Bridge Support
The z/VM virtual switch is enhanced to transparently bridge a guest virtual machine (VM)
network connection on a HiperSockets LAN segment. z/VM 6.2 or later, TCP/IP, and
Performance Toolkit APARs are required for this support. This bridge enables a single
HiperSockets guest VM network connection to also directly communicate with the
following devices:
– Other guest VMs on the virtual switch

– External network hosts through the virtual switch OSA UPLINK port
zIIP-Assisted HiperSockets for large messages
In z/OS, HiperSockets is enhanced for zIIP exploitation. Specifically, the z/OS
Communications Server enables HiperSockets Multiple Write Facility processing for large
outbound messages that originate from z/OS to be run on a zIIP.
z/OS application workloads that are based on XML, HTTP, SOAP, Java, and traditional file
transfer can benefit from zIIP enablement by lowering general-purpose processor usage.
When the workload is eligible, the HiperSockets device driver layer processing (write
command) is redirected to a zIIP, which unblocks the sending application.
For more information about the technical details of each function, see IBM Z Connectivity
Handbook, SG24-5444.
2.5.5 Coupling and timing links

Support for Parallel Sysplex includes the Coupling Facility Control Code (CFCC) and coupling
links. Coupling connectivity in support of Parallel Sysplex environments is provided on the
IBM z16 by the following features:
Coupling Express2 LR (CE2-LR). The feature (FC 0434) has two ports coupling link
connectivity for a distance up to 10 km (6.2 miles).
Integrated Coupling Adapter Short Reach (ICA SR and ICA SR1.1, FC 0172 and FC
0176).
Internal Coupling (ICs) channels operate at memory speed.
The number of physical coupling links and logical coupling CHPIDs that is supported by each
IBM z16 can be found in IBM Z Connectivity Handbook, SG24-5444.
All coupling link types, except IC links, can be used to carry STP or PTP messages.
Note: The CE2-LR is a two-port card that occupies one PCIe+ I/O drawer slot. Therefore,
an IBM z16 that is configured as a Stand-Alone coupling facility (CF) must have at least
one PCIe+ I/O drawer for LR coupling.
Planning consideration
The relationship between one or more CF link connections between CPCs must be
configured in HCD to enable the exchange of CF link signals. HCD generates the CU and
device definitions automatically if the CPCs are known within the same IODF file and the
adapter ID (AID) or PCHIDs are not reserved by other definitions.
Coupling connectivity for IBM z16: IBM z16 supports coupling connectivity back to IBM
z14 M0x, IBM z14 ZR1, and IBM z15 T01 and IBM z15 T02. Coupling is supported only via
ICA SR, ICA SR 1.1, and CE LR links.
No N-3 connectivity from IBM z16 back to the IBM z13/z13s generation exists.
To manage an IBM z16 system in a CTN, HMC level 2.16.0 or newer must be used. The
IBM z16 SE no longer supports STP menus.
As described in this section, depending on the type of the CF link hardware, CF links operate
up to a set distance. Physical placement of the CPCs or CFs must be considered to avoid
exceeding the maximum distance that is supported by the CF link. For the CE2-LR links,

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology can be used to extend the
maximum length of the CF links.
For a list of qualified devices, log in to the IBM Resource Link website with a registered
Resource Link ID.
STP or PTP signals can be exchanged between two CPCs without any CF LPARs involved. If
physical coupling links are established between two CPCs, HCD enables the configuration of
STP links (timing-only links).
For more information, see z/OS HCD User’s Guide, SC34-2669, and Chapter 8, “Preparing
for IBM Parallel Sysplex and Server Time Protocol overview” on page 199.
2.5.6 Planning considerations for hardware data compression

This section provides planning considerations for enabling the hardware data compression on
an IBM z16 system.
The IBM z16 processor chip has two integrated accelerators in its design: the compression
co-processor (CMPCS), which is present on every core, and the IBM Integrated Accelerator
for zEDC (one for each chip, which is integrated into the nest). The compression coprocessor
and IBM Integrated Accelerator for zEDC use an algorithm for data compression that enables
reduction in the size of data to save storage space or increase the data transfer throughput.
This on-chip compression capability delivers industry-leading throughput and replaces the
zEDC Express adapter on the IBM z14 system and earlier IBM zSystem platforms.
Here is a short summary about planning considerations for hardware data compression:
1. Planning the installation:
– Update the IFAPRDxx PARMLIB member in z/OS V2.2 or higher.
– Plan for IPLs before activating the software feature for the first time.
2. z/OS: Verifying the prerequisites:
Look up the IBM.Function.zEDC FIXCAT for proper PTFs.
3. z/OS: Enabling the Priced Software Feature.
Enabling the priced feature provides native compression support for use without using the
zlib Java library.

3.3 Upgrading an existing IBM z15 to an IBM z16 while

maintaining the existing serial number2
This section describes the steps to upgrade an existing IBM z15 that is defined in your
input/output definition file (IODF) to an IBM z16 and keeping the system serial number.
3.3.1 Scenario overview

This scenario describes the configuration steps to upgrade an existing 8561 (IBM z15 T01) to
an 3931 (IBM z16 A01).
Note: The same steps below apply to an upgrade of an existing IBM z15 T02 to an IBM
z16 A02 or to an IBM z16 AGZ, M/T 3932.
The key factors include:

Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) requires a new CPC (processor) ID for the 3931
or 3932 processor.
Keep the same CPC name for the 3931 or 3932 (this item is optional; the CPC name can
be changed).
The 3931 or 3932 processor channels connect to the same switch ports and access the
same control unit (CU) interfaces.
The CU interfaces connect to the same switch ports.
The starting IODF is the current 8561 production IODF.
The target IODF is a new 3931 or 3932 work IODF.
HCD actions:
– Migrate updated input/out configuration program (IOCP) statements.
2
For experienced HCD users, there’s another way of performing this upgrade: Just change the Processor Type and Model of the existing
IBM z15 processor definition to an IBM z16, and then Build Production.

– Build production IODF.

– Remote write IODF to input/output configuration data set (IOCDS).
Hardware Management Console (HMC) actions:
– Build the Reset Profile and point to the required IOCDS.
– Build and verify the Image Profiles.
– Build and verify the Load Profiles.
– Perform a Power on Reset (POR).
This example uses a 8561 (IBM z15 T01) processor with a Processor ID of ARIES with six
channel subsystems (CSSs) (CSS ID=0 - CSS ID=5). This system is replaced by an 3931
(IBM z16 A01) with a Processor ID of PAVO and six CSSs. The CPC name ARIES and serial
number are not changed.
Table 3-1 summarizes the migration options and tool requirements. The process steps are
described in “HCD: Migrating the existing 8561 IODF” on page 41.

HCD: Migrating the existing 8561 IODF

The following steps explain how to upgrade an existing 8561 processor in your IODF to the
new 3931 processor by using HCD. Then, you migrate the I/O configuration and logical
partitions (LPARs) from the 8561 to the 3931. Using HCD, the sequence of operations is as
follows:
1. Creating the work IODF from the current 8561 production IODF.
2. Repeating the 8561 processor to be replaced.
3. Coupling Link information messages.

4. Deleting any unsupported items in the repeated 8561.

5. Add replacements for the unsupported items deleted in the previous step.
6. Changing the 8561 to an 3931 and deleting the 8561.
7. Reconnecting the CF channel paths that were not migrated.
8. Using Open Systems Adapter/Support Facility (OSA/SF) to save and restore OSE OSA
Address Table configuration data.
9. Exporting and importing OSA-ICC configuration data with Open Systems Adapter
Advanced Facilities.
10.Using OSA Advanced Facilities to set OSA parameters.
3.3.2 Creating the work IODF from the current 8561 production IODF
HCD is the tool that is used to make a work IODF, but you start from the current production
IODF that contains the 8561 processor that you are upgrading (for example, SYS9.IODF80).
3.3.3 Repeating the 8561 processor to be replaced

To repeat the 8561 processor in HCD, complete the following steps:
1. From the main HCD panel, select option 1.3. Processor List.
2. In the Processor List (Figure 3-1), enter r (for repeat) next to the 8561 that you want to
upgrade, and press Enter.

3.3.5 Deleting any unsupported items in the repeated 8561

If you are upgrading a processor that contains any CHPID types of OSN, OSX or OSM, then
these types must be deleted from the IODF before changing the processor type to 3931 or
3932.

Note: IBM z16 machine types 3931 and 3932 do not support any InfiniBand coupling links,
so all CHPIDs of type CIB must be deleted in an IODF for machine type 3931 and 3932.
Also, if necessary, replaced with either CHPID types CS5 or CL5.
To delete unsupported CHPIDs, complete the following steps:

1. From the Processor List panel, select the newly created PAVO processor and then press
Enter, as shown in Figure 3-5.

3.3.6 Changing the 8561 to an 3931 and deleting the 8561

You can either keep the original copy of the 8561 (ARIES) or delete it from the IODF. In this
example, keep it in the IODF for a few more steps.
To change the 8561 to an 3931, complete the following steps:

1. Enter c (for change) next to PAVO to change the 8561 to an 3931 and press Enter. The
Change Process Definition panel opens (Figure 3-11).
2. Make the following updates, and press Enter:

– Update Processor type to 3931.

– Update Processor model to A01.
– Update the 8561 part of the Serial number to 3931 (that is, 0123458561 to
0123453931).
– Update Description to Pavo.
– Update Local system name to PAVO.
Note: Because in this example we use HCD to write an IOCDS to this 8561 in
preparation for an upgrade, we must leave the Network name and CPC name set to
IBM390PS and ARIES. These settings must be updated in the IODF after the 8561 is
upgraded to an 3931.

3.4 Installing a new IBM z16 system into an existing IBM

zSystem environment
This section describes the steps for adding an IBM z16 A01 into an existing IBM zSystem
environment.
3.4.1 Scenario overview

This scenario shows the configuration steps for defining a new 3931 processor in an existing
hardware environment. The same steps apply to a new 3932, IBM z16 A02 or IBM z16 AGZ.
The process has the following key considerations:
HCD requires a new processor ID for the 3931 or 3932.
HCD requires a new CPC name for the 3931 or 3932.
The 3931 or 3932 processor connects to new switch ports and new CU interfaces.
The CU interfaces connect to the same switch ports as they did previously.
The starting IODF is the current production IODF.
The target IODF is a new work IODF with a 3931 or 3932 defined.
HCD actions: Migrate updated IOCP statements.
– Build production IODF.
– Remote write IODF to IOCDS.
The HMC actions:
– Build Reset Profile and point to required IOCDS.
– Build and verify Image Profiles.
– Build and verify Load Profiles.
– Run a POR.
This example defines a new 3931 (IBM z16 A01) processor with a Processor ID of PAVO2 and
with six CSSs (CSS ID=0 - CSS ID=5). The CPC name of PAVO2 and serial number of
02-71A08 are used for the 3931.
Table 3-2 summarizes the tool requirements.
Table 3-2 I/O configuration for a new (additional) 3931 processor

New (additional) 3931 processor New (additional) 3931 processor to connect to the
new switch ports and same CUs to which existing
processors connect
Processor ID Requires a new Processor ID.
CPC name Requires a new CPC name.
Channel to switch port connections Extra ports.
CU to switch port connections Same ports.
Starting IODF Current active production IODF.
Target IODF Create a work IODF.
HCD action Add processor.
CMT Program Optional, but good for verifying configurations.
CFReport File (CCN) Required for CMT.
IOCP (import from validated work IODF) Yes.

New (additional) 3931 processor New (additional) 3931 processor to connect to the
new switch ports and same CUs to which existing
processors connect
CMT actions (PCHID reset) Yes.
CMT IOCP Output Yes.
CMT Reports Yes, CHIPID Report and CHIPID to CU Report.
HCD: Creating a 3931 IODF

The following steps explain how to define an additional 3931 processor in your existing IODF
to the existing I/O configuration by using HCD:
1. Creating a work IODF from the current production IODF.
2. Adding the 3931 processor.
3. Using Open Systems Adapter/Support Facility (OSA/SF) to save and restore OSE OSA
Address Table configuration data.
4. Exporting and importing OSA-ICC configuration data with Open Systems Adapter
5. Using OSA Advanced Facilities to set OSA parameters.
3.4.2 Creating a work IODF from the current production IODF

HCD is the tool that is used to make a work IODF. In this example, we start from the current
production IODF that contains the existing hardware environment that will be connected to
the new 3931 processor (for example, SYS9.IODF80).
3.4.3 Adding the 3931 processor

To add the 3931 processor, complete the following steps:
1. From the HCD main menu, select option 1.3, Processor List.
2. In the Processor List (Figure 3-17), press PF11, or enter add on the command line to add
a processor, and press Enter.

TOK=('PAVO',008003331A083931033258630122072F00000000,000*
00000,'22-03-13','03:32:58','........','........')
These dots ensure that this IOCP file cannot be written to a processor and used for a
Power on Reset (POR). This precaution is needed because this IOCP file was created
from a validated work IODF and not a production IODF. IOCP files that can be used for a
POR can be generated only from a production IODF.
Important: When an IOCP file is exported by using HCD from a validated work IODF, it
must be imported back into HCD after the channel IDs (CHIDs) are completed by using
the CMT. The IOCP file cannot be used directly by IOCP until the CHIDs are added.
6. Download this IOCP file from z/OS to the CMT workstation. Use a workstation file transfer
facility such as FTP or the one in the IBM Personal Communications Workstation
Program, or any equivalent 3270 emulation program. Be sure to use TEXT as the transfer
type. In this example, the file is named ARIESin.iocp.
4.3 Assigning CHIDs to CHPIDs by using the CMT

In this section, you use the IOCP statements from HCD and the 3931 order process file
(CFReport). Use the CMT to assign CHIDs to each of the CHPIDs for the 3931.
For this process, the CMT must be downloaded. For more information about downloading and
installing the CMT, see 2.2.3, “CHPID Mapping Tool” on page 10. If CMT is already installed,
verify that the latest updates are installed.
The version of CMT that is used for the following captures is Version 6.22. Check for the latest
version by going to IBM Resource Link.
For more information, see the CHPID Mapping Tool User’s Guide, GC28-7024.
Use the CMT to complete the following steps:

1. Import the CFReport file into the CMT.
2. Import the IOCP file into the CMT.
3. Resolve CHPIDs with a CHID conflict.
4. Process the hardware resolution.
5. Manually resolve the CL5 or CS5 CHPIDs.
6. Set the priority for single-path control units (CUs) and other CUs that override the CMT
default priorities and Automatic Mapping.
7. Resolve the CHPIDs that are not connected to CUs.
8. Create the CMT reports.
9. Create an updated IOCP file for transfer back into the IODF file.

4.4 Importing the CFReport file into the CMT

To import the CFReport file into the CMT, complete the following steps:
1. Start the CMT on your workstation.
2. The CMT asks for a project name and location of the CMT work files. In our example, we
used PAVO as the project name (Figure 4-6).
Figure 4-6 Creating a CHPID Mapping Tool Project
3. Next, specify the CFReport. The IOCP input file window opens. For this step, we input only
the CFReport file.
Attention: To import the CFReport file into the CMT, a Customer Number must be in the
CFReport file.
4. Import the CFReport file into the CMT by specifying the name in the CFReport file field,
and then click Finish (see Figure 4-7).
Figure 4-7 Specifying the CFReport file
If you click Finish but did not select an IOCP file, you receive the message that is shown in
Figure 4-8. Click OK.
Figure 4-8 Warning message for not specifying an IOCP file
A window shows the progress of reading the CFReport file (see Figure 4-9 on page 65).

Figure 4-9 Reading the CFReport file
The information from the CFReport file is shown in the Hardware pane (see Figure 4-10).
Figure 4-10 Imported CFReport file
4.5 Importing the IOCP file into the CMT

To import the validated 3931 IOCP file into the CMT, complete the following steps:
1. Right-click anywhere in the Projects window and select Import IOCP input file (see
Figure 4-11).
Figure 4-11 Importing the IOCP file
2. Select the IOCP file on your workstation to import into the CMT, and click Finish (see
Figure 4-12).
Figure 4-12 Specifying the IOCP file for import

3. In the Projects window, under the Input tab, expand the IOCP tab, right-click the IOCP file,
and select Read Selected IOCP (see Figure 4-13).
Figure 4-13 Reading the selected IOCP
A dialog box opens and shows the progress information (see Figure 4-14).
Figure 4-14 Processing the IOCP file
Another window might open and show a selection regarding what type of upgrade you are
performing (Figure 4-15 on page 68):
– IOCP file represents current configuration
– IOCP file represents proposed configuration
In our example, we select IOCP file represents proposed configuration because we
added more I/O during the upgrade process from a 3906 processor to an 8561 processor.
Click OK.
The CMT shows the information from the CFReport file and the IOCP file in the Hardware
Resolution pane. By default, the Hardware Resolution view (see Figure 4-16) includes three
tabbed panes:
Projects
Hardware Resolution
Adapter Type Summary
Hardware Resolution is the middle pane and the Adapter Type Summary is on the right.
Figure 4-16 Hardware Resolution after Imported IOCP file

The Adapter Type Summary pane shows a table with helpful information. It summarizes the
number of used and available channels for the hardware channel types (used, available, and
device count).
In the example, the CMT might show some of the following output:
Hardware Resolution: This window lists all CHPIDs that were found, and the Status
column shows the CHPID information to be investigated. In the example, investigate the
status. Table 4-1 lists status messages and possible resolutions.

Process the CU Priorities and Automatic Mapping:

– Reset CHPIDs assigned by Automatic Mapping: Selecting this option resets all
CHPIDs that were processed by prior availability runs in this session.
By default, this option is selected.
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by Manual Mapping: Selecting this option resets CHPIDs
that were assigned a CHID in the Manual window. If this option is not selected (it has
no check mark), then availability CHIDs for these CHPIDs are not reset.
By default, this option is not selected.
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by IOCP (Potential re-cabling): If some of the CHPIDs are
assigned in the IOCP Input file, selecting this option resets the CHPIDs. Selecting this
option might require recabling after availability assignments.
Generally, select this option.
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by CMT for config files: The CFReport indicates that you
are doing an MES or upgrade, and you have channels or CHPIDs (or both) that might
have configuration files that are associated with them. The MES or upgrade might
move some of those channel cards.
Regardless of whether the channels are moving or not, the CMT either assigns CHIDs
to the logical CHPID definitions to keep the CHPID definition associated with its current
configuration file, or it moves the definition to the new location where the channel is
moving.
If you reset the CMT assignments, back up the configuration file data before the MES,
and restore that data to the new location (the CHID where the affected CHPIDs are
assigned) before you use the CHPIDs.
If no options are selected, availability works only on CHPIDs that have no CHIDs
assigned.
To give the CMT the most choices when you use the availability option, select Reset
CHPIDs assigned by IOCP.
Attention: If you run Reset CHPIDs assigned by IOCP, it resets any previously
mapped CHPID assignments and can result in recabling of the server.
However, if you select Reset CHPIDs assigned by Automatic Mapping, review the
intersects from availability processing carefully to ensure that preserving the prior
CHPID-to-CHID relationship does not cause unacceptable availability.

4.6 Resolving CHPIDs with CHID conflicts

The CMT shows the CHPIDs with CHID conflicts (see Figure 4-17).
Figure 4-17 CHPIDs with PCHID conflicts
In the first column of every row, the Hardware Resolution pane contains either of the following
symbols:
An X in a red circle: This symbol indicates an error.
An exclamation mark in a yellow circle: This symbol indicates a warning or attention
message.
A green check mark: This symbol indicates that the tool successfully resolved the
specified Channel Type.
In this example, here are the reasons that we needed to resolve hardware resolution issues:
The CHID channel type changed.
The defined CHID is not compatible with the channel path at a particular location.
Enough ports exist in the hardware.
A type mismatch exists between a CHPID and its associated channel type.
4.7 Hardware resolution

In the example, the CMT displays an X in the first column of the Hardware Resolution panel
(see Figure 4-18) that is related to these error types: Select at least one adapter type.
Figure 4-18 Hardware resolution status errors
More information: For more information about these error messages, see the CHPID
Mapping Tool User’s Guide, GC28-7024.
The options that must be reset are as follows:

Resetting Incompatible (Hardware - I/O) Entries: (not shown in example).
Resetting “Error: No hardware found” Entries: (not shown in example).
Resetting “Select at least one adapter type”: (shown in example).
Resetting “Required hardware for type IOCP_type not available”: (not shown in example).
Resetting “CHID_1 moved to new channel ID: CHID_2”: (not shown in example).
4.7.1 Resetting Incompatible (Hardware - I/O) Entries

The Channel type that is assigned for the CHPID is not compatible with the IOCP type that is
specified by the IOCP file. For this mismatch, you might receive the following message:
Error: Channel_type is not compatible with IOCP_type.
You can resolve this problem by resetting the CHID. For example, if the IOCP type is OSD, but
the CHID is associated with a Fibre Connection (FICON) card. You cannot assign the OSD
type on the FICON card.

The CMT example displays the error message in the Status column (see Figure 4-19).
Figure 4-19 Channel_type is not compatible with IOCP_type
Complete the following steps:

1. Select the channel type OSD. The Status is Error: FICON EXP8S is not compatible with
OSD. Right-click in the row and select Reset Incompatible (Hardware - I/O) Entries to
remove the CHID values for only those rows (see Figure 4-20).
Figure 4-20 Channel_type is not compatible with IOCP_type OSD
The tool replaces the X in a red circle with an Attention icon (exclamation mark in a yellow
circle), changes the status message, and removes the CHID information (see Figure 4-21
on page 75).

Figure 4-21 Results of resetting the incompatible type
2. The CMT now displays messages about any CHPID types that were imported from the
IODF into the CMT that do not have any associated hardware support in the CFReport file
(see Figure 4-22). Click OK. The same figure also shows the Adapter Type Summary
details.
Figure 4-22 Required hardware unavailable
There are excessive numbers of OSC CHPID types in the example IODF to show how the
CMT handles this condition.
You can use the overdefine option to change the CHID value to an asterisk (*) in the IODF.
This way, you can retain the OSD CHPID definitions in the IODF so that you can install
OSD CHIDs in the processor later.
Tip: Other CHPID types can also be overdefined by entering an asterisk (*) for the
CHID value. Overdefining is now supported for CIB and CS5 type CHPID definitions.
Alternatively, you can remove the OSD CHPID definitions from the IODF.
3. Return to the IODF and change the CHID values for the OSD CHPIDs (or any other
CHPIDs that have no supporting hardware in the CFReport) to an asterisk (*).
4. Revalidate the IODF by using HCD option 2.12.
5. Re-create the IOCP statements file and transfer it to your workstation.
6. Import the IOCP file by right-clicking the Projects window and selecting Import IOCP File.
Tip: If you look at the IOCP statements file now, although the OSD CHPIDs are omitted
from the file, but they are still defined in the IODF.
Now, when you click Reset “Channel-Type is not compatible with IOCP_type”, the CMT
prompts you to resolve some hardware errors.
4.7.2 Resetting “Error: No hardware found” Entries

An X in a red circle in the first column indicates an error, and the Status column shows the
message Error: No hardware found (see Figure 4-23).
Figure 4-23 Error: No Hardware found
In the example, select channel type FC. The status is Error: No Hardware found. Right-click
in the row and select Reset “No hardware found” Entries to remove the CHID values for
those rows.
The tool replaces the X with an Attention icon, changes the status message, and removes
the CHID information (see Figure 4-24).
Figure 4-24 Results of resetting “No hardware found”

4.7.3 Resetting “Select at least one adapter type”

The adapter type is not assigned to the current row. Assign an adapter type to the IOCP type
by completing the following steps:
1. Click the Adapter Type column in the target row. The tool displays an arrow in the
Channel Type column of the target row (see Figure 4-25).
Figure 4-25 Selecting at least one adapter type
2. Click the ellipses (...) box.

3. The tool displays a list of available and compatible card types for the CHPID as shown in
see Figure 4-26 on page 78. Select an adapter type and click OK.
4. In the Adapter Type Summary tab, observe that the Used and Available totals change.
Figure 4-26 Adapter Type Selection
4.7.4 Resetting “Required hardware for type IOCP_type not available”

The CMT found no hardware for the specified IOCP type, as shown in this example message:
Required hardware for type CS5 not available.
You must change the IOCP file or obtain more hardware.
4.7.5 Resetting “CHID_1 moved to new channel ID: CHID_2”

When moving from old hardware to new hardware, for example, during a MES, the CHID
value that is assigned to a feature can change. This message indicates that the IOCP file
contains a CHID value for the old machine that is being removed. The CHID value is changed
from the old machine to the CHID value for the new machine.
For example, CHID_1 is the first CHID value representing the old hardware (for example,
1B0) and CHID_2 is the new value representing the new hardware (for example, 533). In
essence, the feature is present in both the old and new hardware, but its location (CHID)
changed.
This status is an informational message. No hardware resolution is required. The message

informs you of the new location so you can change it if you prefer a different assignment.
After you assign all Adapter Types, the Manual Mapping button becomes available.

4.8 Manual mapping to resolve CIB CHPIDs
Note: This section only applies when you upgrade from an IBM z14 (3906) to an IBM z16
(3931).
In some situations, the Automatic Mapping option is not available. You cannot use automatic
mapping until all CIB or CS5 CHPIDs are resolved. You can use manual mapping to resolve
this task.
To resolve the CIB or CS5 CHPIDs, assign the available CHPIDs by completing the following
steps:
1. Click Manual Mapping (see Figure 4-27).
Figure 4-27 Manual Mapping
2. Ensure that the tool is set to display Manual Mapping by clicking Hardware → I/O (see
Figure 4-28).
Figure 4-28 Manual Mapping of Hardware -> I/O
3. Click every row that has type Integrated Coupling Adapter Short Reach (ICA SR) in the
Channel Type column. The tool displays all the available CHPIDs with IOCP type (see
Figure 4-29 on page 79).
Figure 4-29 Adapter Type of HCA3 and associated CHPIDs that are assigned
4. Select one or more empty check boxes in the I/O Config pane to assign the CHPID. In the
Hardware pane, the CHPID number is inserted in the CHPID column. In the Assigned By
column, the value of Manual is inserted.
5. If you select more than one CHPID for an ICS SR adapter type, you see the Multiple -->
value (see Figure 4-30) inserted into the CHPID and Assigned By columns.
Figure 4-30 Adapter Type of HCA3 and associated multiple CHPID assigned
The Automatic Mapping button becomes available after you assign all the CHPIDs of IOCP
type CIB or CS5.
4.9 Processing Automatic Mapping and CU Priority

If you are importing an IOCP statements file from an IBM z15 that had CU Priority values
defined, review the CU Priority values first. The CMT can then perform the availability
functions for an IBM z16.
You must assign priorities if you want to make some CUs more important (in the CMT
processing order) than others, or have two (or more) CUs that you want the CMT to process
at the same time.
Perform the first availability function by completing these steps:

1. Click Automatic Mapping.
2. The Reset CHPID Assignments window opens with Reset choices (see Figure 4-31 on
page 81). For the example, select the following two options and then click OK:
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by Automatic Mapping
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by IOCP (Potential re-cabling required!)

Figure 4-31 Resetting CHPID Assignments
Tip: The following fourth choice is also available, but only for an upgrade or an MES:
Reset CHPIDs assigned by CMT for config files.
3. Click OK to confirm the reset (see Figure 4-32).
Figure 4-32 Resetting CHPID assignments warning message
4. The availability rules might differ from a previous zSystems family, so remove all CHID
assignments that are still in the IOCP.
5. Click OK.
6. After the CMT resets the CHPIDs, it displays the result of the process (see Figure 4-33 on
page 82). Click OK.
Figure 4-33 Availability ran successfully with no errors message
7. Click OK (see Figure 4-34).
Figure 4-34 Process Intersections run successfully message
The possible intersects are as follows:

C Two or more assigned channels use the same adapter card.
S Greater than half the assigned pchids use the same InfiniBand or STI link.
M All assigned channels are supported by the same MBA group.
B More than half the assigned channels are supported by the same book.
D Assigned channels are on the same daughter card.
Tip: Intersect messages inform you of a potential availability problem that is detected
by the CMT. However, they do not necessarily indicate an error. It is your responsibility
to evaluate whether the condition must be corrected.
8. Click Manual Mapping. In the CHPID Groups tab, observe any intersect warnings that
were found during automatic mapping and decide whether they are acceptable (see
Figure 4-35 on page 83). The example returned the “C” intersect. This warning indicates
that there are multiple definitions on the same I/O card.

Figure 4-35 B Intersect examples
You can now display the results of the channel mapping. You can also sort the report in
various ways. For example, you can see how the CMT ranked CUs.
Check and set values for items such as OSC CHPIDs and FICON CTC (FCTC) CHPIDs to
ensure that the CMT allocates these CHPIDs with high CHID availability by completing the
following steps:
1. Click CU Priorities. By default, this pane is in the center at the top.
2. In the CU Priorities pane, search in the CU Number column for the CUs that you want to
set a priority for.
3. Type a priority number for the CU in the Priority column for each row. The CMT makes
more related changes in the CHPID Groups panes.
4.10 CHPIDs not connected to control units

In the CU Priorities window, click in the CU Number column (see Figure 4-36). The CMT
shows, at the end of the list, all CHPIDs that are defined in the IOCP input that are not
connected to CUs. In the list of CU numbers, the letter “S” precedes all coupling CHPIDs, and
the letter “P” precedes all non-coupling CHPIDs.
Figure 4-36 CHPIDs not connected to control units
Review the list for the following reasons:

Perhaps you forgot to add a CHPID to a CU and must update the IOCP source before you
continue in the CMT.
The unconnected CHPIDs might be extra channels that you are ordering in anticipation of
new CUs.
The unconnected CHPIDs might be coupling links that are being used in Coupling Facility
(CF) images (they do not require CUs).
If there are extra CHPIDs for anticipated new CUs, consider grouping these CHPIDs with a
common priority. Having a common priority enables the availability mapping function to pick
CHIDs that can afford your new CU availability.
4.11 Creating CHPID Mapping Tool reports

The CMT offers built-in reports, which are available from the top of the window. You can also
print the information from the report by clicking Print. Figure 4-37 shows the options to create
a Preview Report or Save Report.
Figure 4-37 Preview Report and Save Report buttons
Click Preview Report or Save Report to display choices (a list of types of reports). The
choices are the same except that Save Report lists an extra selection (see Figure 4-38 on
page 85

Figure 4-38 Preview Report and Save Report menus
For simplicity, only three reports are described in this example:

The CHPID Report
The Port Report sorted by location
The CHPID to Control Unit Report
However, all built-in reports are printed in the same way.
The person who installs the I/O cables during system installation needs one of these reports.
The Port Report sorted by location, is preferable. The installer can use this report to help with
labeling the cables. The labels must include the CHID or cage/slot/port information before
system delivery.
4.11.1 CHPID Report

To create the CHPID Report, complete the following steps:
1. Click Preview Report → CHPID Report (see Figure 4-39).
Figure 4-39 Preview report: CHPID Report
The CMT displays the CHPID Report in a Report tab within the CMT (see Figure 4-40).
Figure 4-40 CHPID Report
Tip: You can save individual reports as multiple reports in batch.
2. Click Save Report.

In the example, when you click CHPID Report, an option window opens (see Figure 4-41).
Specify a file name and an external path (location) of where to save the file. If you want to
save the report in HTML, select HTML. The tool selects PDF by default. The window is
similar for all type of reports. Click Finish.
Figure 4-41 Saving the CHPID Report
The CHPID Report is created by the CMT (see Figure 4-42).
Figure 4-42 CHPID Report example in PDF format
At the end of this CHPID Report is a list of CHPIDs with modified CHID/AID assignments (see
Figure 4-43). This report is valuable for moving cables.
Figure 4-43 List of CHPIDs that have modified PCHID/AID assignments
4.11.2 CHPID to Port Report sorted by location

To create the Port Report sorted by location, click Preview Report → Port Report → Sorted
by Location. The CMT displays the CHPID to Port Report in a Report tab within the CMT
(see Figure 4-44).
Figure 4-44 CHPID to Port Report sorted by location

4.11.3 CHPID to CU Report

This report is created in way that is like the CHPID Report. Click Preview Report → CHPID
to Control Unit Report. The CMT displays the CHPID to Control Unit Report in a Report tab
within the CMT (see Figure 4-45).
Figure 4-45 CHPID to CU Report
4.12 Creating an updated IOCP file

Now, use CMT to create an updated IOCP file that must be imported back into the IODF by
using HCD. This IOCP statements file now has CHIDs that are assigned to CHPIDs.
To create the IOCP, complete the following steps:

1. Select File → Export IOCP input file (see Figure 4-46).
Figure 4-46 Export IOCP input file
2. Enter the Export Path and IOCP Name for the IOCP output file and click Finish (see
Figure 4-47).
Requirement: This file must be uploaded to the z/OS image on which you have the
work IODF that you used previously to create the IOCP input data set.
Figure 4-47 Exporting the IOCP File

3. Select File → Save Session (see Figure 4-48).
Figure 4-48 Save Session
You might want to save your project before exiting the CMT application.

IOCDSs, IPL attributes and dynamic I/O changes
This example assumes that you have connectivity to the 8561 processor that is being
upgraded over the Hardware Management Console (HMC) local area network (LAN) to
write an IOCDS.
If the CPC being upgraded is not accessible from the HMC LAN, create a IOCP file from
HCD, then use the stand-alone IOCP process to update the IOCDS.
You can create an IOCP file by using the same process that you used to create an IOCP
file for the channel path ID (CHPID) Mapping Tool (CMT).
Tip: The Support Element (SE) can read an IOCP file that is written to a USB flash
memory drive.

12.Also, when you select IBM390PS.ARIES, notice that IOCDS A3 (to which you wrote the
upgrade IODF) has a status of Invalid (see Figure 5-16). This error occurs because you
specified Yes for the Write IOCDS in preparation for upgrade field, and the IOCDS
contains IOCP statements and code that are relevant only for an 3931 processor.
The status switches when this processor is upgraded to an 3931 processor. The 8561
IOCDS status changes to Alternate and the 3931 IOCDSs changes to Invalid.
Tip: Generally, rewrite the IOCDS that is written in preparation for the upgrade at your
earliest convenience. Subsequent MESs might cause an IOCDS that is written in
preparation for an upgrade to become invalid.

5.3 Creating a reset profile on the Support Element

To build and activate your reset profile by using the HMC, complete the steps in this section.
5.3.1 Background activities that occurred

The following activities must have occurred before you create a reset profile:
The 8561 processor was upgraded to an 3931-A01 processor.
A new HMC was installed with the correct driver level to support the 3931 processor, and it
is connected to the customer HMC network.
The upgraded 3931 processor (in this example PAVO) was defined to the new HMC:
The 8561 processor, now upgraded to an 3931 processor, underwent a POR with the
Diagnostic (DEFAULT) IOCDS.
The 3931 processor had a new IOCP written to its IOCDS from the IODF (IODF81) by
using HCD Option 2.11.
The 3931 processor is now ready to be customized with specific customer definitions.
5.3.2 Building the reset profile and pointing it to the required IOCDS
Now that the IOCP file is written to an IOCDS, build a reset (POR) profile to point to that
IOCDS. This reset profile performs a POR for the new 3931 processor after it is upgraded and
handed over from the IBM System Services Representative (IBM SSR).
To build the profile, complete the following steps:

1. Log on to the HMC workstation that is supplied with the 3931 processor with SYSPROG
authority, or use a remote web browser and select the new 3931 processor.
2. Under Systems Management, click Systems Management to expand the list.
3. Under Systems Management, click the radio button next to the system to select it (in this
example, PAVO).
4. In the Tasks window, click Operational Customization to expand it, and select
Customize/Delete Activation Profiles (see Figure 5-17 on page 105).

Figure 5-17 Customize/Delete Activation Profiles
5. Select the DEFAULT reset profile and click Customize profile.

6. Save this DEFAULT profile with a new profile name to be used when the POR is required
(for example, TESTRESET).
7. Select the new TESTRESET profile and click Customize profile.
8. Click the IOCDS that you updated in the previous step. The ACTB0PDL message appears
(see Figure 5-18).
Figure 5-18 Activation Profiles: ACTB0PDL message
9. Depending on the circumstances, you can answer Yes or No. You might want to review the
Partition Activation List now. For this example, click Yes.
10.The HMC retrieves any image profiles that match the logical partition (LPAR) names that
are defined in the IOCDS that was selected. You can create image profiles for those LPAR
names that it cannot retrieve.
In our example, we select Automatically create all new images using the choices
specified on this panel and Use the selected profile as a template when
automatically creating new image profiles: DEFAULT. Click OK (see Figure 5-19).
Figure 5-19 Image Profile automatic build options

11.Note the list of LPARs that were retrieved and built based on the LPARs that were defined
in the selected IOCDS. Click Save (see Figure 5-20).
Figure 5-20 Reset and Image Profile list: Selecting IOCDS
For planning information, see Chapter 2, “Planning considerations” on page 7
5.3.3 Setting up and verifying the reset profile

To set up and verify the reset profile, complete these steps:
1. Click Partitions to display the list of LPARs in the partition activation list.
This window lists all the partitions that were retrieved by the automatic build for reset
profile TESTRESET. The partition list also determines all the image profiles that would be
activated if the CPC was POR.
Here, you can tailor which image profiles are displayed and activated, and also the order
of activation and the order in which they are displayed in the reset profile.
Typing over or removing the number in the Order field determines how you want the
Partitions in the reset profile to behave, that is, they are removed or the order is changed.
2. After you make your determinations, click Save (see Figure 5-21).
Figure 5-21 Reset and Image profile list: Updating the partition list

3. If you have any Coupling Facility (CF) partitions that are defined, HMC prompts whether
you want to change the partition activation order because it is preferential but not essential
that CF LPARs are activated before z/OS LPARs. Click Yes or No (see Figure 5-22).
Figure 5-22 Reset and Image Profiles list: Coupling Facility LPAR verification
5.4 Creating an image profile on the Support Element

Image profiles contain all the specific parameters that relate to the partition, which include:
General
Processor
Security
Storage
Options
Load
Crypto
Time Offset
Click one of the image profiles to set up the partitions parameters. In our example, we select

Figure 5-27 Image Profile: Options
5.4.6 Image Profile: Load page

Click the Load link if you want to set up any automatic load (IPL) parameters when the
partition is activated by using a POR or image profile activation. If you prefer not to use IPL to
load a z/OS system into a partition during a POR or image profile activation, then you can set
up and activate load profiles, and then use them when they are required. This topic is
mentioned in the following section (see Figure 5-28). Review the following settings:
Load during activation check box, which determines whether the options in this panel are
used.
Load type.
Load address.
Time-out value.
Figure 5-28 Image Profile: Load

5.4.7 Image Profile: Crypto page

Click the Crypto link to define the Crypto Domain Index IDs and the number of Crypto that
are engines that are assigned to that Domain ID, and whether they are only a candidate or a
candidate and online (see Figure 5-29). Review the following settings:
Assigned Domains, which is where you first assign a Domain Index ID.
Assigned Cryptos, which is where you assign which of and how many of the installed
Crypto engines are assigned to the Domain ID and this partition.
Figure 5-29 Image Profile: Crypto
5.4.8 Image Profile: Time Offset

If you selected Logical partition time offset in the General window, then an extra window
opens in the image profile that is called Time Offset. Here, you can select the partitions time
offset against the CPC time as set by the Server Time Protocol (STP) (see Figure 5-30).
Offset: Days, hours, and minutes
Decrease or Increase time value
Figure 5-30 Image Profile: Time Offset

5.4.9 Image Profile: Saving

After you customize all the required image profiles for this reset profile, click Save to save the
reset (and image) profiles for POR. If you have only a few LPARs that require activation, then
perhaps it is easier to deactivate and activate those image profiles individually. (It depends on
your situation.) HMC asks for confirmation to continue to save. Click OK (see Figure 5-31).
For planning information, see Chapter 2, “Planning considerations” on page 7.
Figure 5-31 Reset and Image profile: Confirmation to save
5.5 Performing a Power on Reset on the new CPC
Note: This section activities are based on the IBM z16 A01 (3931). However, they can be
also used with the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ (3932).
When the 8561 processor is upgraded to an 3931 processor, your IBM SSR performs a POR
with a Diagnostic IOCDS.
After this process is complete and the IBM SSR is satisfied with the status of the processor,
they hand over the processor to you. You then run another POR by using the reset profile that
was created in 5.3.2, “Building the reset profile and pointing it to the required IOCDS” on
page 104.
The 3931 processor is now ready to be activated (POR) by using the production reset profile.
As mentioned previously, this process is optional but preferred depending on how many
partitions that you defined on the processor.
5.5.1 Coupling Facility Links

After the POR completes with your specific customer configuration and the coupling links
come online to the CF and z/OS LPARs on this CPC and any links to other CPCs, verify that
they are online and established a link. One way to do this process is to display the CHPID by
using Channel Problem Determination on the HMC.
To use the Channel Problem Determination process, complete the following steps:
1. Log on by using SYSPROG authority to the HMC for the new 3931 processor.
2. Click Systems Management to expand the list.
3. Under Systems Management, click the radio button next to the system to select it (in this
example, PAVO).
4. In the Tasks window, click Recovery to expand it, and select Single Object Operations
(see Figure 5-32).
Figure 5-32 Systems Management: Main window
5. Click OK on the confirmation window.

6. Click System Management to expand the list.
7. Under Systems Management, click the CPC name to expand the options (in this example,
PAVO).
8. Click Partitions to expand the list of partitions.
9. Scroll through the list of partitions until you find one of the CF partitions or z/OS partitions
to which the coupling links are connected (in our example, we select PAVO3E).
10.Click the partition name to expand the options under the partition name.
11.Click CHPIDs to display the CHPID list that is specific to this LPAR (see Figure 5-33).
Figure 5-33 System Management: Single Object Operation

12.Select the CHPID that you want to verify. We view CHPID 3.80 (CSS=3, CHPID=80).
13.There are two ways to show the options for this CHPID: Either click the >> symbol next to
the CHPID to expand its options, or click CHPID Operations to expand the options and
then click Channel Problem Determination (see Figure 5-34).
Figure 5-34 System Management: CHPID Operations
14.The HMC shows the Channel Problem Determination options. Select Analyze channel
information, and then click OK (see Figure 5-35).
Figure 5-35 Channel Problem Determination: Analyze channel information
Note the following items (see Figure 5-36):

– State: Online
– Status: Operating
– Node type: Attached
– Node status: Valid
– Type/model: 8561-T01 (device that the CHPID is connected to)
– Seq. number: 2B7F8 (serial number of the device that the CHPID is connected to)
– Tag: 80 (in this case, the destination CHPID of CHPID 80)
Note the physical channel ID (PCHID) of 0504. This PCHID number is allocated by the
CPC when this particular CHPID (Integrated Couping Adapter SR (ICA SR)) is defined to
the HSA configuration.
Figure 5-36 Channel Problem Determination: Display
This window verifies that the CHPID is online and operating, and also what the CHPID
(cable) is connected to.
15.Continue to verify all other CF links that are defined and online.

5.5.2 Dynamic I/O configuration for stand-alone CF

Many customers have Stand-Alone Coupling Facilities (SACFs). A true Stand Alone CF
cannot change the I/O configuration dynamically because of a missing HCD running on the
CPC. Changing the I/O configuration for such a CPC is cumbersome and error-prone, and it
requires a POR of the CPC.
Dynamic configuration capabilities for Stand Alone CFs were added to the IBM z14 system
(Driver level 36) and is available on the IBM z15 and IBM z16 system.
To prepare your environment to use this implementation, complete the following steps. A
short description of the new options on the processors cluster list is included at the end of this
topic.
1. Prerequisites:
The target and the source CPCs must be a IBM z14 (Driver level 36) or later system.
The following z/OS APARs1 for dynamic I/O configuration for SACF should be installed so
that their functions are available:
– OA54912.
– IO25603.
– OA53952.
– OA55404.
Ensure that the Stand Alone CF has the correct support level selected like one of the
levels that are shown in Figure 5-37 on page 121.
Refer to 9.6, “Dynamic I/O for Standalone CF” on page 227 for additional details.

5.6 Server Time Protocol configuration

Now that the CF links are verified as connected and online, you can set up the STP
configuration.
The STP or Manage System Time option on the HMC under Configuration uses a GUI.
Note: SE version 2.15.0 (IBM z15 system) or later no longer supports the System
(Sysplex) Time task. The System (Sysplex) Time task was replaced by the Manage
System Time task on the HMC.
For more information about the new GUI and how to set up the STP Coordinated Timing
Network (CTN), see Chapter 8, “Preparing for IBM Parallel Sysplex and Server Time Protocol
overview” on page 199.
5.7 Building and verifying Load (IPL) profiles

The CPC underwent POR, the images profiles are defined and activated, the CF links are
verified, and the STP and its roles are set up. Now, you can define a Load (IPL) profile to use
to activate (perform an IPL) an LPAR.
To build a Load profile, complete the following steps:

1. Log on by using SYSPROG authority to the HMC for the new 3931 processor.
2. Under Systems Management, click Systems Management to expand the list.
3. Under Systems Management, select the radio button next to the system to select it (in this
example, PAVO).
4. On the Tasks window, click Operational Customization to expand it, and select
Customize/Delete Activation Profiles (see Figure 5-45 on page 129).

Figure 5-45 Systems Management: Main display
5. Select the DEFAULTLOAD load profile and click Customize profile. See Figure 5-46
Figure 5-46 DEFAULTLOAD - Load Profile
6. Enter the required parameters that are specific to your installation to perform an IPL:
– Profile name: Type your preferred profile name over DEFAULTLOAD.
– Description: Enter your preferred description.
– Load type: Standard load.
– Load address: The device address of the IPL volume (911E).
– Load parameter: 944301M1:
• 9443: The device address of the IODF volume
• 01: The suffix of the LOADxx member in SYS#.IPLPARM on device 9443
• M: Automatic IPL
• 1: SYS1.NUCLEUS
Figure 5-47 shows an example.
Figure 5-47 Customize Load Profiles: Load

7. Click Save, and then click OK to continue to the Save window (see Figure 5-48).
Figure 5-48 Customize Load Profiles: New Load profile
For planning information, see Chapter 2, “Planning considerations” on page 7.
5.8 Building and verifying LOADxx members in SYS#.IPLPARM

A LOADxx suffix is required to perform an IPL. This data set member is stored in SYS#.IPLPARM
on the volume that the IODF is written to. In our example, this volume is 9443 (IODFPK). The #
is the value that you use in your installation for SYS# data sets. The # may be any number
0 - 9, for example, SYS0.IPLPARM.
If you prefer to use the HWNAME keyword to point to the Processor ID, update this parameter to
point to the new Processor ID (in this example, from PAVO). Sometimes the LPARNAME keyword
is also used in the LOADxx members, and it might need to be reviewed or updated, such as
PAVO33.
Note: If you are going to share a LOADxx member with many partitions, then the HWNAME and
LPARNAME keywords are required.
To build and verify LOADxx members in SYS#.IPLPARM, complete the following steps:
1. Log on by using Time Sharing Option (TSO) to a system that has access to the
SYS#.IPLPARM data set that is on the IODF volume that you use to perform the IPL.
2. Edit data set SYS#.IPLPARM and edit member LOADxx. Figure 5-49 shows the settings that
are used in our example:
– The HWNAME keyword is set to PAVO.
– The LPARNAME keyword is set to PAVO33.
– The IODF keyword is set to ** (where ** directs the IPL to look at what IODF / IOCP
underwent a POR into the CPCs HSA, and then look on the IODF volume for that
corresponding IODF). A specific IODF suffix number can be defined in the LOADxx
member if you must override the HSA match.
– The IODF keyword points to the High-Level Qualifier of the IODF data set (SYS9) and
the operating system configuration (OSCONFIG) that this system uses (ITSO). The
OSCONFIG is the other part of an IODF that the IPL uses to determine which devices
it can access, along with Nucleus Initialization Program Consoles and Esoterics.
– The remaining parameters are used for z/OS and not for the IODF.

(3932).

6.1 Preparing to define and customize Open Systems

Adapter-Express
To define Open Systems Adapter-Express (OSA-Express) to your I/O configuration, you need
the following information:
The Open Systems Adapter (OSA) operation mode (channel path ID (CHPID) type)
The physical channel ID (PCHID) of OSA-Express and the CHPID number that is
associated with that PCHID
The CHPID access list and the candidate list within the logical channel subsystem (LCSS)
The CNTLINIT number and the IODEVICE number
These operations are described in detail in Chapter 13, “Adding network devices” on
page 299.
Depending on your network configuration and environment, you can perform OSA-Express
customization by using OSA Advanced Facilities. OSA Advanced Facilities are used for
customizing the following settings:
OSA Address Table (OAT) and Systems Network Architecture (SNA) timer
Physical port speed
Media Access Control (MAC) address
These settings are described in 6.3, “Customizing OSA-Express by using OSA Advanced
Facilities” on page 136.
6.2 Defining OSA-Express to your I/O configuration

Defining the OSA-Express involves these high-level steps:
Choosing the OSA-Express CHPID type.
Defining the OSA-Express to I/O configuration.
Confirming your OSA-Express I/O definition.
6.2.1 Choosing the OSA-Express CHPID type

Before using OSA-Express, you must choose the CHPID type. A summary of CHPID types
that are supported in an IBM z16 A01 system is shown in Table 6-1. For more information,
see the Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and Reference, SA22-7935, and

Operational Customization → OSA Advanced Facilities (Figure 6-4 on page 137).

Figure 6-4 OSA/SF on the HMC: OSA Advanced Facilities selection
The OSA Advanced Facilities window that is shown in Figure 6-5 opens.
Figure 6-5 OSA/SF on the HMC: OSA Advanced Facilities initial window
6.3.1 Configuring OAT and the SNA LLC2 timer for an OSE channel
When you define OSA-Express as an OSE channel (non-QDIO mode), you must customize
the OAT except for the following uses:
Use only the default OAT and do not use (require) port sharing.
OSA-Express Direct SNMP subagent.
For more information, see Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and Reference,
SA22-7935.

You can edit OAT by using the Open Systems Adapter/Support Facility (OSA/SF). OSA/SF is
a tool for customizing OSA-Express. The OSA/SF tool is available on the HMC as a submenu
of OSA Advanced Facilities.
For other CHPID types, OSA/SF is not required. If you must change the port speed or the
MAC address, you can configure them from OSA Advanced Facilities. The OSA CHPID type
and OSA/SF requirements are listed in Table 6-2.
Table 6-2 OSA/SF and OSA CHPID reference

OSA CHPID type OSA/SF
OSE Required
OSD Not required
OSC Not required
Note: CHPID types OSN, OSM and OSX are not supported by the IBM z16.
When you use a SNA network that uses an OSE channel and must change the SNA timer
(SNA LLC2 parameter), you must customize the parameters in OSA Advanced Facilities. For
more information, see Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and Reference,
SA22-7935.
If you are upgrading from IBM z14 or IBM z15 systems to IBM z16 A01, or if you are
upgrading an IBM z15 T02 to an IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ, and your configuration uses
the OSA-Express6S or OSA-Express7S 1000Base-T feature, your OSE configuration is
automatically migrated. After this process completes, check the configuration using OSA/SF
on the HMC.
Customizing the OAT and the SNA timer
Note: Before you customize OAT and the SNA timer by using OSA/AF on the HMC, see
Open Systems Adapter/Support Facility on the Hardware Management Console,

6.3.2 Setting OSA parameters by using OSA Advanced Facilities

If you want to change the port speed or MAC address of an OSA-Express6S/7S feature, you
can use OSA Advanced Facilities. Normally, changing MAC address is required for SNA
networks.
Port speed: You can set the port speed to only 100 Mbps with the OSA-Express6S
1000Base-T features. The OSA-Express7Sa 1000Base-T feature does not have this
capability.
You cannot set the port speed to 1000 Mbps with the OSA-Express6S 1000Base-T
features. If you want the port speed to run at 1000 Mbps, you must select Auto Negotiate.
The screen shots regarding setting the port speed were done for an OSA Express6S card
on an IBM z15 T01. The IBM z16 A01 available had only OSA Express7S cards.
a. OSA Express7S is not supported on the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ.
Setting the OSA port speed

To change the port speed, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the HMC, select the CPC that you want to operate, and then click Open OSA
2. Select the PCHID of the OSA channel for which you must set the card mode. Select Card
specific advanced facilities and click OK.
3. Select Set card mode and click OK (Figure 6-21).

This section describes the configuration steps for channel-to-channel (CTC) connections. If
your system has programs such as VTAM or global resource serialization (GRS), then you
must configure Fibre Connection (FICON) CTC (FCTC) links.

6.5.1 FICON CTC: Preparing

FCTC does not require that you explicitly define the CTC CU function to one channel side or
the other. The channel itself decides which side contains the CU function. Both sides of an
FCTC connection use a Fibre Channel (FC) channel path that is defined to one or more
FCTC CUs representing the target systems for the CTC connections.
A logical address is required when the FC channel path is attached to a shared FC channel
path to identify the LPAR to communicate with. When attached to an unshared FC channel
path, the logical address must be zero or not specified. For more information, see the CTC
Definitions page.
FCTC communication within a single processor complex can be accomplished with a single
FC channel path connecting to FC switch. Both sides of the CTC connection are represented
by the same single FC channel path. This configuration results in these advantages:
Reducing the number of channels that are required.
Simplified configuration design.
Simplified configuration definition.
6.5.2 FICON CTC: Implementation

The following considerations apply to all FCTC configurations:
The server at each end of an FCTC connection uses a FICON native (CHPID type FC)
channel.
The FICON native channel at each end of the CTC connection has an FCTC CU that is
defined.
The FCTC devices on the FCTC CU are defined as type FCTC.
The FCTC control function on the IBM zSystems platform can communicate with an FCTC
CU that is defined on a FICON native channel on any server that supports FICON.
The FICON native channel at each end of the FCTC connection supports the FCTC CUs,
and also communicates with other FICON native CUs, such as disk and tape.
In an FCTC configuration, FCTC CUs are defined at each end, but only one end provides the
FCTC CU function. During initialization of the logical connection between two ends of an
FCTC connection, the channel that provides the FCTC CU function is determined by using an
algorithm. This process results in balancing the number of FCTC CU functions that each end
of the logical connection is providing. The algorithm uses the channel with the lower FC
worldwide name (WWN) to provide the FCTC CU function.
FICON native channel CTC communication does not require a pair of channels because it
can communicate with any FICON native channel that has a corresponding FCTC CU that is
defined. This configuration means that FCTC communications can be provided by using only
a single FICON native channel per server.
For more information about how to implement FCTC, see the following publications:
FICON CTC Implementation, REDP-0158
FICON Planning and Implementation Guide, SG24-6497
I/O Configuration Using z/OS HCD and HCM, SG24-7804

6.5.3 FICON CTC: Management

After you activate the FCTC configuration and connect all the cables, verify whether the
CHPIDs are online and operating by using either z/OS or the Support Element (SE):
Checking the status by using z/OS commands.
On our IBM z16 A01 the CHPIDs 44, 45, 54 and 55 (PCHIDs 0120, 0160, 01A4 and 01E4)
have been defined as FCTC, using the devices 2E20-2E23, 2E28-2E2B, 4E20-4E23 and
4E28-4E2B.
If you are interested in checking the status of these CHPIDs 44, 45, 54 and 55 run the
D M=CHP(44,45,54,55) command, as shown in Figure 6-25.

Checking the status by using the SE:

– From the HMC, select the CPC (under Systems Management) where the
CHPID/PCHID you want to verify is and click Single Object Operations (under the
Recovery task options).
– On the SE, select the same CPC and click Channels. Look for the PCHID you are
interested in checking the status of. The result is shown in Figure 6-26.

4. Press Enter. HCD submits a batch job to create the data set.
5. Using an editor or browser tool of your choice, verify that the data set that you created
exists and contains IOCP statements (see Figure 6-34). In this example, we used Time
Sharing Option (TSO). This data set is used as input into the CMT.

Figure 6-34 IOCP input data set: Contents (truncated)

Part of the TOK statement is now replaced with dots (see Example 6-1).
Example 6-1 IOCP file (TOK statement)

TOK=('PAVO',008003331A083931033258630122072F00000000,000*
00000,'22-03-13','03:32:58','........','........')
These dots ensure that this IOCP file cannot be written to a processor and used for a
Power on Reset (POR). This precaution is needed because this IOCP file was created
from a validated work IODF and not a production IODF. IOCP files that can be used for a
POR can be generated only from a production IODF.
Important: When an IOCP file is exported by using HCD from a validated work IODF, it
must be imported back into HCD after the channel IDs (CHIDs) are completed by using
the CMT. The IOCP file cannot be used directly by IOCP until the CHIDs are added.
6. Download this IOCP file from z/OS to the CMT workstation. Use a workstation file transfer
facility such as FTP or the one in the IBM Personal Communications Workstation
Program, or any equivalent 3270 emulation program. Be sure to use TEXT as the transfer
type. In this example, the file is named ARIESin.iocp.
6.8 Assigning CHIDs to CHPIDs by using the CMT

In this section, you use the IOCP statements from HCD and the 3931 order process file
(CFReport). Use the CMT to assign CHIDs to each of the CHPIDs for the 3931.
For this process, the CMT must be downloaded. For more information about downloading and
installing the CMT, see 2.2.3, “CHPID Mapping Tool” on page 10. If CMT is already installed,
verify that the latest updates are installed.
The version of CMT that is used for the following captures is Version 6.22. Check for the latest
version by going to IBM Resource Link.
For more information, see the CHPID Mapping Tool User’s Guide, GC28-7024.
Use the CMT to complete the following steps:

1. Import the CFReport file into the CMT.
2. Import the IOCP file into the CMT.
3. Resolve CHPIDs with a CHID conflict.
4. Process the hardware resolution.
5. Manually resolve the CL5 or CS5 CHPIDs.
6. Set the priority for single-path control units (CUs) and other CUs that override the CMT
default priorities and Automatic Mapping.
7. Resolve the CHPIDs that are not connected to CUs.
8. Create the CMT reports.
9. Create an updated IOCP file for transfer back into the IODF file.

6.9 Importing the CFReport file into the CMT

To import the CFReport file into the CMT, complete the following steps:
1. Start the CMT on your workstation.
2. The CMT asks for a project name and location of the CMT work files. In our example, we
used PAVO as the project name (Figure 6-35).
Figure 6-35 Creating a CHPID Mapping Tool Project
3. Next, specify the CFReport. The IOCP input file window opens. For this step, we input only
the CFReport file.
Attention: To import the CFReport file into the CMT, a Customer Number must be in the
CFReport file.

4. Import the CFReport file into the CMT by specifying the name in the CFReport file field,
and then click Finish (see Figure 6-36).
Figure 6-36 Specifying the CFReport file
If you click Finish but did not select an IOCP file, you receive the message that is shown in
Figure 6-37. Click OK.
Figure 6-37 Warning message for not specifying an IOCP file
A window shows the progress of reading the CFReport file (see Figure 6-38 on page 158).

Figure 6-38 Reading the CFReport file
The information from the CFReport file is shown in the Hardware pane (see Figure 6-39).
Figure 6-39 Imported CFReport file

6.10 Importing the IOCP file into the CMT

To import the validated 3931 IOCP file into the CMT, complete the following steps:
1. Right-click anywhere in the Projects window and select Import IOCP input file (see
Figure 6-40).
Figure 6-40 Importing the IOCP file
2. Select the IOCP file on your workstation to import into the CMT, and click Finish (see
Figure 6-41).
Figure 6-41 Specifying the IOCP file for import

3. In the Projects window, under the Input tab, expand the IOCP tab, right-click the IOCP file,
and select Read Selected IOCP (see Figure 6-42).
Figure 6-42 Reading the selected IOCP
A dialog box opens and shows the progress information (see Figure 6-43).
Another window might open and show a selection regarding what type of upgrade you are
performing (Figure 6-44 on page 161):
– IOCP file represents current configuration
– IOCP file represents proposed configuration
In our example, we select IOCP file represents proposed configuration because we
added more I/O during the upgrade process from a 3906 processor to an 8561 processor.
Click OK.

The CMT shows the information from the CFReport file and the IOCP file in the Hardware
Resolution pane. By default, the Hardware Resolution view (see Figure 6-45) includes three
tabbed panes:
Projects
Hardware Resolution
Adapter Type Summary
Hardware Resolution is the middle pane and the Adapter Type Summary is on the right.
Figure 6-45 Hardware Resolution after Imported IOCP file

The Adapter Type Summary pane shows a table with helpful information. It summarizes the
number of used and available channels for the hardware channel types (used, available, and
device count).
In the example, the CMT might show some of the following output:
Hardware Resolution: This window lists all CHPIDs that were found, and the Status
column shows the CHPID information to be investigated. In the example, investigate the
status. Table 6-3 lists status messages and possible resolutions.

Process the CU Priorities and Automatic Mapping:

– Reset CHPIDs assigned by Automatic Mapping: Selecting this option resets all
CHPIDs that were processed by prior availability runs in this session.
By default, this option is selected.
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by Manual Mapping: Selecting this option resets CHPIDs
that were assigned a CHID in the Manual window. If this option is not selected (it has
no check mark), then availability CHIDs for these CHPIDs are not reset.
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by IOCP (Potential re-cabling): If some of the CHPIDs are
assigned in the IOCP Input file, selecting this option resets the CHPIDs. Selecting this
option might require recabling after availability assignments.
Generally, select this option.
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by CMT for config files: The CFReport indicates that you
are doing an MES or upgrade, and you have channels or CHPIDs (or both) that might
have configuration files that are associated with them. The MES or upgrade might
move some of those channel cards.
Regardless of whether the channels are moving or not, the CMT either assigns CHIDs
to the logical CHPID definitions to keep the CHPID definition associated with its current
configuration file, or it moves the definition to the new location where the channel is
moving.
If you reset the CMT assignments, back up the configuration file data before the MES,
and restore that data to the new location (the CHID where the affected CHPIDs are
assigned) before you use the CHPIDs.
If no options are selected, availability works only on CHPIDs that have no CHIDs
assigned.
To give the CMT the most choices when you use the availability option, select Reset
CHPIDs assigned by IOCP.
Attention: If you run Reset CHPIDs assigned by IOCP, it resets any previously
mapped CHPID assignments and can result in recabling of the server.
However, if you select Reset CHPIDs assigned by Automatic Mapping, review the
intersects from availability processing carefully to ensure that preserving the prior
CHPID-to-CHID relationship does not cause unacceptable availability.

6.11 Resolving CHPIDs with CHID conflicts

The CMT shows the CHPIDs with CHID conflicts (see Figure 6-46).
Figure 6-46 CHPIDs with PCHID conflicts
In the first column of every row, the Hardware Resolution pane contains either of the following
symbols:
An X in a red circle: This symbol indicates an error.
An exclamation mark in a yellow circle: This symbol indicates a warning or attention
message.
A green check mark: This symbol indicates that the tool successfully resolved the
specified Channel Type.
In this example, here are the reasons that we needed to resolve hardware resolution issues:
The CHID channel type changed.
The defined CHID is not compatible with the channel path at a particular location.
Enough ports exist in the hardware.
A type mismatch exists between a CHPID and its associated channel type.

6.12 Hardware resolution

In the example, the CMT displays an X in the first column of the Hardware Resolution panel
(see Figure 6-47) that is related to these error types: Select at least one adapter type.
Figure 6-47 Hardware resolution status errors
More information: For more information about these error messages, see the CHPID
Mapping Tool User’s Guide, GC28-7024.
The options that must be reset are as follows:

Resetting Incompatible (Hardware - I/O) Entries: (not shown in example).
Resetting “Error: No hardware found” Entries: (not shown in example).
Resetting “Select at least one adapter type”: (shown in example).
Resetting “Required hardware for type IOCP_type not available”: (not shown in example).
Resetting “CHID_1 moved to new channel ID: CHID_2”: (not shown in example).
6.12.1 Resetting Incompatible (Hardware - I/O) Entries

The Channel type that is assigned for the CHPID is not compatible with the IOCP type that is
specified by the IOCP file. For this mismatch, you might receive the following message:
Error: Channel_type is not compatible with IOCP_type.
You can resolve this problem by resetting the CHID. For example, if the IOCP type is OSD, but
the CHID is associated with a Fibre Connection (FICON) card. You cannot assign the OSD
type on the FICON card.

The CMT example displays the error message in the Status column (see Figure 6-48).
Figure 6-48 Channel_type is not compatible with IOCP_type


1. Select the channel type OSD. The Status is Error: FICON EXP8S is not compatible with
OSD. Right-click in the row and select Reset Incompatible (Hardware - I/O) Entries to
remove the CHID values for only those rows (see Figure 6-49).
Figure 6-49 Channel_type is not compatible with IOCP_type OSD
The tool replaces the X in a red circle with an Attention icon (exclamation mark in a yellow
circle), changes the status message, and removes the CHID information (see Figure 6-50
on page 168).

Figure 6-50 Results of resetting the incompatible type
2. The CMT now displays messages about any CHPID types that were imported from the
IODF into the CMT that do not have any associated hardware support in the CFReport file
(see Figure 6-51). Click OK. The same figure also shows the Adapter Type Summary
details.
Figure 6-51 Required hardware unavailable
There are excessive numbers of OSC CHPID types in the example IODF to show how the
CMT handles this condition.
You can use the overdefine option to change the CHID value to an asterisk (*) in the IODF.
This way, you can retain the OSD CHPID definitions in the IODF so that you can install
OSD CHIDs in the processor later.

Tip: Other CHPID types can also be overdefined by entering an asterisk (*) for the
CHID value. Overdefining is now supported for CIB and CS5 type CHPID definitions.
Alternatively, you can remove the OSD CHPID definitions from the IODF.
3. Return to the IODF and change the CHID values for the OSD CHPIDs (or any other
CHPIDs that have no supporting hardware in the CFReport) to an asterisk (*).
4. Revalidate the IODF by using HCD option 2.12.
5. Re-create the IOCP statements file and transfer it to your workstation.
6. Import the IOCP file by right-clicking the Projects window and selecting Import IOCP File.
Tip: If you look at the IOCP statements file now, although the OSD CHPIDs are omitted
from the file, but they are still defined in the IODF.
Now, when you click Reset “Channel-Type is not compatible with IOCP_type”, the CMT
prompts you to resolve some hardware errors.
6.12.2 Resetting “Error: No hardware found” Entries

An X in a red circle in the first column indicates an error, and the Status column shows the
message Error: No hardware found (see Figure 6-52).
Figure 6-52 Error: No Hardware found
In the example, select channel type FC. The status is Error: No Hardware found. Right-click
in the row and select Reset “No hardware found” Entries to remove the CHID values for
those rows.
The tool replaces the X with an Attention icon, changes the status message, and removes
the CHID information (see Figure 6-53).
Figure 6-53 Results of resetting “No hardware found”

6.12.3 Resetting “Select at least one adapter type”

The adapter type is not assigned to the current row. Assign an adapter type to the IOCP type
by completing the following steps:
1. Click the Adapter Type column in the target row. The tool displays an arrow in the
Channel Type column of the target row (see Figure 6-54).
Figure 6-54 Selecting at least one adapter type
2. Click the ellipses (...) box.

3. The tool displays a list of available and compatible card types for the CHPID as shown in
see Figure 6-55 on page 171. Select an adapter type and click OK.
4. In the Adapter Type Summary tab, observe that the Used and Available totals change.

Figure 6-55 Adapter Type Selection
6.12.4 Resetting “Required hardware for type IOCP_type not available”

The CMT found no hardware for the specified IOCP type, as shown in this example message:
Required hardware for type CS5 not available.
You must change the IOCP file or obtain more hardware.
6.12.5 Resetting “CHID_1 moved to new channel ID: CHID_2”

When moving from old hardware to new hardware, for example, during a MES, the CHID
value that is assigned to a feature can change. This message indicates that the IOCP file
contains a CHID value for the old machine that is being removed. The CHID value is changed
from the old machine to the CHID value for the new machine.
For example, CHID_1 is the first CHID value representing the old hardware (for example,
1B0) and CHID_2 is the new value representing the new hardware (for example, 533). In
essence, the feature is present in both the old and new hardware, but its location (CHID)
changed.
This status is an informational message. No hardware resolution is required. The message

informs you of the new location so you can change it if you prefer a different assignment.
After you assign all Adapter Types, the Manual Mapping button becomes available.

6.13 Manual mapping to resolve CIB CHPIDs
Note: This section only applies when you upgrade from an IBM z14 (3906) to an IBM z16
(3931).
In some situations, the Automatic Mapping option is not available. You cannot use automatic
mapping until all CIB or CS5 CHPIDs are resolved. You can use manual mapping to resolve
this task.
To resolve the CIB or CS5 CHPIDs, assign the available CHPIDs by completing the following
steps:
1. Click Manual Mapping (see Figure 6-56).
Figure 6-56 Manual Mapping
2. Ensure that the tool is set to display Manual Mapping by clicking Hardware → I/O (see
Figure 6-57).
Figure 6-57 Manual Mapping of Hardware -> I/O
3. Click every row that has type Integrated Coupling Adapter Short Reach (ICA SR) in the
Channel Type column. The tool displays all the available CHPIDs with IOCP type (see
Figure 6-58 Adapter Type of HCA3 and associated CHPIDs that are assigned

4. Select one or more empty check boxes in the I/O Config pane to assign the CHPID. In the
Hardware pane, the CHPID number is inserted in the CHPID column. In the Assigned By
column, the value of Manual is inserted.
5. If you select more than one CHPID for an ICS SR adapter type, you see the Multiple -->
value (see Figure 6-59) inserted into the CHPID and Assigned By columns.

6.14 Processing Automatic Mapping and CU Priority

If you are importing an IOCP statements file from an IBM z15 that had CU Priority values
defined, review the CU Priority values first. The CMT can then perform the availability
functions for an IBM z16.
You must assign priorities if you want to make some CUs more important (in the CMT
processing order) than others, or have two (or more) CUs that you want the CMT to process
at the same time.
Perform the first availability function by completing these steps:

1. Click Automatic Mapping.
2. The Reset CHPID Assignments window opens with Reset choices (see Figure 6-60 on
page 174). For the example, select the following two options and then click OK:
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by Automatic Mapping
– Reset CHPIDs assigned by IOCP (Potential re-cabling required!)

Figure 6-60 Resetting CHPID Assignments
Tip: The following fourth choice is also available, but only for an upgrade or an MES:
Reset CHPIDs assigned by CMT for config files.
3. Click OK to confirm the reset (see Figure 6-61).
Figure 6-61 Resetting CHPID assignments warning message
4. The availability rules might differ from a previous zSystems family, so remove all CHID
assignments that are still in the IOCP.
5. Click OK.
6. After the CMT resets the CHPIDs, it displays the result of the process (see Figure 6-62 on
page 175). Click OK.

Figure 6-62 Availability ran successfully with no errors message
7. Click OK (see Figure 6-63).
Figure 6-63 Process Intersections run successfully message
The possible intersects are as follows:

C Two or more assigned channels use the same adapter card.
S Greater than half the assigned pchids use the same InfiniBand or STI link.
M All assigned channels are supported by the same MBA group.
B More than half the assigned channels are supported by the same book.
D Assigned channels are on the same daughter card.
Tip: Intersect messages inform you of a potential availability problem that is detected
by the CMT. However, they do not necessarily indicate an error. It is your responsibility
to evaluate whether the condition must be corrected.
8. Click Manual Mapping. In the CHPID Groups tab, observe any intersect warnings that
were found during automatic mapping and decide whether they are acceptable (see
Figure 6-64 on page 176). The example returned the “C” intersect. This warning indicates
that there are multiple definitions on the same I/O card.

Figure 6-64 B Intersect examples
You can now display the results of the channel mapping. You can also sort the report in
various ways. For example, you can see how the CMT ranked CUs.
Check and set values for items such as OSC CHPIDs and FICON CTC (FCTC) CHPIDs to
ensure that the CMT allocates these CHPIDs with high CHID availability by completing the
following steps:
1. Click CU Priorities. By default, this pane is in the center at the top.
2. In the CU Priorities pane, search in the CU Number column for the CUs that you want to
set a priority for.
3. Type a priority number for the CU in the Priority column for each row. The CMT makes
more related changes in the CHPID Groups panes.

6.15 CHPIDs not connected to control units

In the CU Priorities window, click in the CU Number column (see Figure 6-65). The CMT
shows, at the end of the list, all CHPIDs that are defined in the IOCP input that are not
connected to CUs. In the list of CU numbers, the letter “S” precedes all coupling CHPIDs, and
the letter “P” precedes all non-coupling CHPIDs.
Figure 6-65 CHPIDs not connected to control units
Review the list for the following reasons:

Perhaps you forgot to add a CHPID to a CU and must update the IOCP source before you
continue in the CMT.
The unconnected CHPIDs might be extra channels that you are ordering in anticipation of
new CUs.
The unconnected CHPIDs might be coupling links that are being used in Coupling Facility
(CF) images (they do not require CUs).
If there are extra CHPIDs for anticipated new CUs, consider grouping these CHPIDs with a
common priority. Having a common priority enables the availability mapping function to pick
CHIDs that can afford your new CU availability.
6.16 Creating CHPID Mapping Tool reports

The CMT offers built-in reports, which are available from the top of the window. You can also
print the information from the report by clicking Print. Figure 6-66 shows the options to create
a Preview Report or Save Report.
Figure 6-66 Preview Report and Save Report buttons
Click Preview Report or Save Report to display choices (a list of types of reports). The
choices are the same except that Save Report lists an extra selection (see Figure 6-67 on
page 178

Figure 6-67 Preview Report and Save Report menus
For simplicity, only three reports are described in this example:

The CHPID Report
The Port Report sorted by location
The CHPID to Control Unit Report
However, all built-in reports are printed in the same way.
The person who installs the I/O cables during system installation needs one of these reports.
The Port Report sorted by location, is preferable. The installer can use this report to help with
labeling the cables. The labels must include the CHID or cage/slot/port information before
system delivery.

6.16.1 CHPID Report

To create the CHPID Report, complete the following steps:
1. Click Preview Report → CHPID Report (see Figure 6-68).
Figure 6-68 Preview report: CHPID Report
The CMT displays the CHPID Report in a Report tab within the CMT (see Figure 6-69).
Figure 6-69 CHPID Report
Tip: You can save individual reports as multiple reports in batch.
2. Click Save Report.

In the example, when you click CHPID Report, an option window opens (see Figure 6-70).
Specify a file name and an external path (location) of where to save the file. If you want to
save the report in HTML, select HTML. The tool selects PDF by default. The window is
similar for all type of reports. Click Finish.
Figure 6-70 Saving the CHPID Report
The CHPID Report is created by the CMT (see Figure 6-71).
Figure 6-71 CHPID Report example in PDF format

At the end of this CHPID Report is a list of CHPIDs with modified CHID/AID assignments (see
Figure 6-72). This report is valuable for moving cables.
Figure 6-72 List of CHPIDs that have modified PCHID/AID assignments
6.16.2 CHPID to Port Report sorted by location

To create the Port Report sorted by location, click Preview Report → Port Report → Sorted
by Location. The CMT displays the CHPID to Port Report in a Report tab within the CMT
(see Figure 6-73).
Figure 6-73 CHPID to Port Report sorted by location

6.16.3 CHPID to CU Report

This report is created in way that is like the CHPID Report. Click Preview Report → CHPID
to Control Unit Report. The CMT displays the CHPID to Control Unit Report in a Report tab
within the CMT (see Figure 6-74).
Figure 6-74 CHPID to CU Report

6.17 Creating an updated IOCP file

Now, use CMT to create an updated IOCP file that must be imported back into the IODF by
using HCD. This IOCP statements file now has CHIDs that are assigned to CHPIDs.
To create the IOCP, complete the following steps:

1. Select File → Export IOCP input file (see Figure 6-75).
Figure 6-75 Export IOCP input file
2. Enter the Export Path and IOCP Name for the IOCP output file and click Finish (see
Figure 6-76).
Requirement: This file must be uploaded to the z/OS image on which you have the
work IODF that you used previously to create the IOCP input data set.
Figure 6-76 Exporting the IOCP File

3. Select File → Save Session (see Figure 6-77).
Figure 6-77 Save Session
You might want to save your project before exiting the CMT application.
6.18 Additional steps and processes

You might want to perform a PCHID migration before building a production IODF. For more
information, refer to CHPID Mapping Tool User's Guide, GC28-7024
For your next steps, go to Chapter 5, “Build the production input/output definition file and

Verifying the OSA-ICC definition
examples can also be used with the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ (3932).
(3932).

7.1 Preparing a console definition

A non-Systems Network Architecture (SNA) console is a console that is required for IPL,
z/OS system operation, and management. You must define at least one non-SNA console to
your z/OS system. To define the non-SNA console, use the Open Systems Adapter-Express
(OSA-Express) Integrated Console Controller (ICC) (OSA-ICC) function. For more
information, see Open Systems Adapter Integrated Console Controller User's Guide,
SC27-9003. The following steps are required:
1. Define the OSC channel path ID (CHPID) and the CNTLUNIT.
2. Define the 3270-X IODEVICE.
3. Configure OSA-ICC by using the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) Advanced Facilities.
4. Export / import the OSA-ICC configuration (optional).
5. Activate the OSA-ICC configuration by using the OSA Advanced Facilities.
6. Set up IBM Personal Communications.
Note: Channel type OSC is supported on the OSA-Express 1000Base-T type and OSA
Express GbE adapters only. The OSA-Express7S 1000Base-T Adapter supports
connections at 1000 Mbps only.
You must configure OSA-ICC when you upgrade to an IBM z16 A01 or IBM z16 A02 or IBM
z16 AGZ from an older IBM zSystems generation where OSA-ICC definitions exist or when
installing a new IBM z16 and non-SNA consoles are required. For an upgrade from a IBM z14
or IBM z15, the OSA-ICC configuration is automatically upgraded to an IBM z16.
7.2 Defining the OSA-ICC

Before you perform OSA-ICC configuration, you must define the OSC CHPID, CNTLUNIT,
and 3270-X IODEVICE to the I/O configuration. Defining the OSC channel by using the
Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) is described in Chapter 13, “Adding network
devices” on page 269, and Chapter 11, “Adding logical partitions and operating system
configurations” on page 243.
7.3 Defining a new OSA-ICC configuration by using OSA

Advanced Facilities
When installing a new IBM z16 A01, A02 or AGZ, you must configure OSA-ICC from scratch.
To create an OSA-ICC configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the Hardware Management Console (HMC), select the central processor
complex (CPC), and open OSA Advanced Facilities.
2. Select the OSC physical channel ID (PCHID) to use for the OSA-ICC configuration, and
select Card Specific Advanced Facilities (Figure 7-1 on page 187).

7.3.1 Saving and restoring the OSA-ICC configuration

During an upgrade, you can export an OSA-ICC configuration file from the source IBM
zSystem CPC and import it to the IBM z16 A01. This section describes how to export and
import the OSA-ICC configuration file by using HMC and an FTP server that is part of the
same local area network (LAN) segment.
Exporting the OSA-ICC configuration file by using OSA Advanced

Facilities
In this example, we export the OSA-ICC configuration file from an IBM z16 A01 to an FTP
server and import the file to the same IBM z16 A01 from the same FTP server. You can also
import or export the configuration file using an USB Flash Drive.
To export the OSA-ICC configuration file, complete the following steps:

1. Before you try to export a source file to an FTP server, make sure the FTP server is
reachable from this particular HMC:
a. Contact your LAN administration and ask for the host name and TCP/IP address of the
FTP server that is connected to the same subnet. From the HMC Welcome window,
click HMC Management, as show on Figure 7-16 on page 193.

Figure 7-16 HMC - Click HMC Management to get to the network diagnostic information
b. On the HMC Management window, click Network Diagnostic Information to get to

the Network Diagnostic Information window, as shown in Figure 7-17.
Figure 7-17 HMC - Clicking Network Diagnostic Information to ping the FTP server
c. On the Ping tab of the Network Diagnostic Information window, enter the TCP/IP
Address of the FTP server and click Ping. You should see the ping statistics, which
indicates that this HMC has a connection to the FTP server, as shown in Figure 7-18.
Figure 7-18 HMC - Network Diagnostic Information: Using the ping function to verify the physical
connection between this HMC and the FTP server

2. Log on to the HMC, select the CPC that you want to operate, and open the OSA Advanced
Facility.
3. Select the OSC CHPID to export the OSA-ICC configuration file, select Card Specific
Advanced Facilities, select Manual configuration options, then click OK (Figure 7-19).
Figure 7-19 HMC - Manual configuration options
4. The Manual Configuration Options window opens (Figure 7-20). Select Export source
file by FTP and click OK.
Figure 7-20 HMC - Export source file by FTP
5. The window prompts you for the FTP server information and the location of the file to
export. For our example, we enter OSC0140.txt as in Figure 7-21. Click Export. The HMC
task writes the source file for the PCHID that was selected on to the FTP server and
displays a message when it completes (Figure 7-22 on page 195). Click OK.

Chapter 8. Preparing for IBM Parallel

Sysplex and Server Time
Protocol overview
This chapter describes the preparation tasks for IBM Parallel Sysplex and how to configure
time synchronization with Server Time Protocol (STP).

8.1, “Preparing for Parallel Sysplex” on page 200
8.2, “Preparing for non-sysplex system time synchronization” on page 200
8.3, “Server Time Protocol overview” on page 200
8.4, “Configuring the HMC as an NTP Server” on page 203
8.5, “HMC V2.16.0 (Manage System Time task)” on page 204
(3932).

8.1 Preparing for Parallel Sysplex

If your IBM z16 is a member of a Parallel Sysplex or if you create a Parallel Sysplex that
involves an IBM z16, time synchronization among central processor complexes (CPCs) is
required. For time synchronization, you must use the STP or PTP feature (FC 1021). In
addition to the time synchronization, the following tasks are required to create a Parallel
Sysplex:
1. Defining Coupling Facility (CF) links.
2. Defining Fibre Connection (FICON) channel-to-channel (CTC) (FCTC) connections
(optional).
3. Defining the CF logical partition (LPAR).
4. Defining the CF LPAR image profile in Hardware Management Console (HMC).
5. Configuring STP or PTP.
Defining CF (coupling) links is described in Chapter 9, “Defining Coupling Facility links” on

page 211. Defining the image profile is described in 5.4, “Creating an image profile on the
Support Element” on page 109
8.2 Preparing for non-sysplex system time synchronization

If your IBM z16 is not part of a Parallel Sysplex but you want to synchronize the time among
multiple CPCs, you need the STP function and timing-only links. These configuration steps
are required:
1. Defining timing-only links.
2. Configuring STP.
Defining timing-only links is described in 9.4, “Defining an STP timing-only link by using ICA
SR” on page 222.
8.3 Server Time Protocol overview

STP provides time synchronization among multiple CPCs in a Coordinated Timing Network
(CTN). A CTN is a collection of servers that are synchronized to a time protocol that is called
Coordinated Server Time (CST). The STP function (feature) is implemented in the Licensed
Internal Code (LIC) as a chargeable feature. You must order STP enablement FC 1021 to use
STP.
For more information about STP concepts and planning information, see Server Time
Protocol Planning Guide, SG24-7280 and IBM Z Server Time Protocol Guide, SG24-8480.
Beginning with IBM z15, STP stratum level 41 is supported. Timekeeping information is
transmitted over coupling links. Figure 8-1 on page 201 shows a diagram of a CTN.
1 Stratum 4 is a temporary status to allow more options to move and replace machines and reconfigure CTN.
Although STP stratum level 4 is supported, it should not be used for permanent configurations. Stratum 4 should be
used for transitional configurations, during CTN maintenance.

Note: IBM z16 supports STP timing mode only (can be part of an STP-only CTN). The IBM
z16 cannot be in the same sysplex or CTN with any IBM zSystems earlier than the IBM
z14.
8.3.1 External Time Source

For IBM zSystem machines prior to the IBM z15, the external time reference would typically
be Network Time Protocol (NTP). Starting with the IBM z15, support for IEEE 1588, Precision
Time Protocol (PTP) has been added. Prior to the IBM z16, the external time reference
network connectivity occurred through the internal SE Management network Interface.
IBM z16 introduces a new, enhanced method for accessing the External Time Source by
connecting the IBM z16 CPC directly to the client network providing access to the PTP or
NTP time reference, thus bypassing the support element and the internal network. PTP or
NTP traffic is provided to the CPC through Ethernet connectivity to a new adapter card that is
in turn connected directly to the IBM z16 oscillators. This new adapter card features hardware
timestamping capabilities, allowing IBM z16 to take full advantage of the accuracy of PTP. In
the IBM z16, a new container firmware partition provides time protocol support for both NTP
and PTP.
For clients requiring accuracy to UTC lower than 100 milliseconds, pulse per second (PPS)
connectivity is also available. To provide NTP-, or PTP data, the NTP-, or PTP servers are
directly connected to the CPC.
Note: On an IBM z16 A new adapter that carries the Pulse Per Second (PPS) connector
and the Oscillator(s) is installed. The new adapter provides 2 I350 (Ethernet) ports
One port dedicated to the SE interface
One port dedicated specifically to time synchronization (PTP and/or NTP)
One Coaxial cable connector for PPS
Figure 8-2 shows a sample PTP ETS configuration for the STP.
Figure 8-2 Example configuration: PTP time servers configuration
Especially for the financial markets, very tight time accuracy is demanded by the authorities of
various countries. The US Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced that
computer clocks that are used to record events in national market system (NMS) securities
and over-the-counter (OTC) equity securities must be synchronized to within a 50-millisecond
drift tolerance of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) atomic clock.
Also, the European Union demands in their Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MIFID

II) regulation that the maximum divergence from Coordinated Universal Time is 100
microseconds.
Unfortunately, the accuracy of the interface with an NTP server to maintain CST accuracy that
is provided by STP is 100 milliseconds to the time that is provided by the NTP server. To meet
the clock synchronization requirements of FINRA and MIFID II, the NTP server must have a
pulse per second (PPS) output signal that can achieve time accuracy within
10 microseconds. If your configuration requires the NTP server with PPS capability, the NTP
server that is configured as the ETS must be attached directly to the SE network, and the
PPS cable must be attached directly to the PPS port on the CPCs that have the Preferred
Time Server (PTS) and Backup Time Server (BTS) roles.
For more information about this topic, see STP recommendations for the FINRA clock
synchronization requirements.
Please refer to IBM zSystems Server Time Protocol Guide, SG24-8480 for more information.
8.4 Configuring the HMC as an NTP Server

The NTP server configured as the ETS must be attached directly to the IBM z15 and IBM z14
families SE LAN. The SE LAN is considered in many configurations to be a private
(dedicated) LAN and should be kept as isolated as possible. On IBM z16 the NTP server
connects directly to the CEC BMC card.
The ability to define an NTP server on the HMC addresses potential security concerns
because the HMC is normally attached directly to the SE LAN. The HMC has two LAN ports
that are physically isolated, one port for the connection to the HMC/SE LAN used by NTP
client code, and the second port for the LAN used by HMC to access an NTP time server to
set its time. So the NTP server on the HMC can access another NTP server via a separate
LAN connection to obtain its time reference. Figure 8-3 on page 204). The NTP server
function on the HMC does not provide a pulse Per second (PPS) output.
Note: For security reasons, we do recommend connecting the External Time Source ports
to a protected network (through a firewall) for accessing the external time servers (PTP or
NTP). This also applies for the ETS connectivity direct to the CPC.

9.1 Coupling connectivity options for Parallel Sysplex on IBM

z16
Coupling connectivity for Parallel Sysplex on IBM z16 can use Coupling Express2 Long
Reach (CE2-LR) and Integrated Coupling Adapter Short Reach (ICA SR). The ICA SR
feature is designed to support distances of up to 150 meters. The CE2-LR feature supports
distances up to 10 km unrepeated between systems, and up to 100 km with qualified Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexer (DWDM). The available options for coupling links on IBM z16
are shown in Figure 9-1.

Figure 9-1 IBM z16 coupling connectivity
Internal Coupling (IC) links are supported and used for internal communication between
logical partitions (LPARs) on the same central processor complex (CPC) running coupling
facilities (CFs) and z/OS images. The connection is emulated in Licensed Internal Code (LIC)
and provides fast and secure memory-to-memory communications between LPARs within a
single system. No physical cabling is required. For IC, an ICP type channel path ID (CHPID)
is used.
Note: IBM z16 do not support InfiniBand coupling links; only ICA SR and CE2-LR external
coupling links are supported.
9.1.1 Preparing to define Coupling Facility links

A good starting point for implementing coupling links is accurate and current documentation
that clearly illustrates all connections that are needed for the new or upgraded CPC.
When installing coupling links, ensure that you ordered enough ports to support your
configuration with physical feature redundancy. Your Parallel Sysplex should be configured for
the highest possible availability.

Parallel Sysplex failure independence is a function of a z/OS to CF relationship and the

removal of single points of failure. For example, all connections to a structure on a Standalone
CF are failure-independent. With an ICF, all connections from z/OS images on the same
footprint are failure-dependent.
For more information, see Coupling Facility Configuration Options, ZSW01971, which can be
found at the IBM downloads website.
Evaluate whether the configuration includes any channel features that are not supported on
the IBM z16. The configuration should be reviewed for any channel types that cannot be
carried forward or connected to the IBM z16.
Another important point is to ensure that all CPCs are connected to the IBM z16 by using
coupling links as follows: Only N, N-1, and N-2 IBM zSystems generations can coexist in the
same Parallel Sysplex or Coordinated Timing Network (CTN). For example, the IBM z16
provides coupling connectivity back to IBM z14 M0x, IBM z14 ZR1, IBM z15 T01, and IBM
z15 T02 systems only through ICA SR and CE2-LR features.
Note: Deactivate any coupling link on other connected systems before an upgrade, or you
might experience configuration errors.
If an IBM z16 plays a CTN role (Preferred Time Server (PTS), Backup Time Server (BTS), or
Arbiter), then the other CTN role-playing CPCs must have coupling connectivity to the IBM
z16 (N, N-1, and N-2).
If coupling links will be connected across sites by using Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (DWDM), you must verify whether the DWDM equipment that you plan to use
supports the respective coupling link technology and is qualified for the STP.
Note: Do not use DWDM equipment that is not qualified by IBM to transport STP
information.
For more information about the supported coupling link features, see IBM zSystems
Connectivity Handbook SG24-5444.

9.2 Defining Coupling Express2 Long Reach

This section describes the implementation of the CE2-LR feature. The definition of this CF
link is part of the activity that is called Define CF/STP link, which is shown in Figure 1-3 on
page 5.
CE-LR coexistence/migration is critical: IBM z16 CE2-LR links connect to existing CE-LR
links on IBM z14 and IBM z15 using the same LR cabling.
Compatibility patches delivered to IBM z14 and IBM z15 in 2020 (Protocol updates for
scalability).
CE-LR hardware cannot be used on IBM z16, neither new-build, nor carry-forward.
In this example, we show how to define a coupling link between an IBM z16 and an IBM z15
by using CHPID type CL5 (see Figure 9-2).

CE2-LR is defined in an input/output configuration data set (IOCDS) like PSIFB. Even though
this feature is a PCIe feature, a physical channel ID (PCHID) is used instead of an adapter ID
(AID) to identify the physical card.
Example 9-1 shows a sample extract of the input/out configuration program (IOCP) to define
the new CHPID Type CL5 on the IBM z15 that connects to an IBM z16.

Note: When you connect CF sender and CF receiver channel paths, or CF peer channel
paths, the Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) proposes a CF control unit (CU), and
device numbers that must be defined for a CF sender channel (CF receiver channels do
not require CUs and devices to be defined).
For more information about how to define CHPID Type CL5 in HCD, see 14.2.4, “Defining CL5
CHPIDs” on page 356.

9.3 Defining Integrated Coupling Adapter Short Reach

This section describes the implementation of coupling links by using the ICA-SR 1.1 feature.
The definition of this CF link is part of the activity that is called Define CF/STP link, which is
shown in Figure 1-3 on page 5.
The ICA-SR 1.1 IBM z16 improvements:
Note: The ICA-SR 1.1 carries forward from IBM z15 an IBM z14. What is unique for IBM
z16 is the protocol used for the ICA SR links, which reduces the link latency and service
times.
Refactored ICA-SR protocol engine for the IBM z16.

– Push MCB/MRB1 (vs. pull) – removes memory round-trip to retrieve Message
Command Block.
– DREQ2-less write data protocol – removes cross-fiber handshake to send data for a
CF write command.
– HW Offload engines for processing async SMSG MRB & Secondary MCB arrival
Vector setting by CP instead of SAP.
• Removes SAPs from processing path for these messages.
There is a complete coexistence with legacy ICA-SR connections (CS5 channel type) and the
expected result is improved CPU-synchronous CF service times.
In this example, we show how to define a coupling link between an IBM z16 system and an
IBM z15 system by using CHPID type CS5 (see Figure 9-7).

9.4 Defining an STP timing-only link by using ICA SR

This section describes how to configure a timing-only link (for STP messages) over ICA SR
connectivity.
9.4.1 STP timing-only link: Implementation

In this section, a CHPID type (CS5) connection is used to show an example of an STP
timing-only link definition. The definition of the STP timing-only link is part of the Define
CF/STP link activity that is shown in Figure 1-3 on page 5.

A coupling link connection between an IBM z16 and an IBM z15 by using CS5 CHPIDs is
used as an example of how to define an STP timing-only link (see Figure 9-12).

9.4.2 STP timing-only links: Verifying the configuration

After activating the new configuration with the ICA SR links defined as STP timing-only links
and all cables are connected, verify whether the CHPIDs are online and operating by using
z/OS or the SE windows.
The same process that you used for ICA SR links should be followed to check the status
(online and operating) of the CS5 CHPIDs that were defined to work as STP timing-only links.
Complete the steps that are described in 9.3.1, “ICA SR: Verifying the configuration” on

checking the status.
9.5 CF LPAR setup and Coupling Facility Control Code Level 25

The intention of this section is to remind you of the configuration aspects that are related to a
CF LPAR, such as the possible sysplex configuration with an IBM z16, memory
considerations due to the new CF Level, and the changes in Coupling Facility Control Code
(CFCC) Level 25.
As previously mentioned in the installation flow chart (Figure 1-3 on page 5), the following
aspects must be considered for the activity Setup CF LPAR:
IBM z16 servers support active participation in the same Parallel Sysplex, and connection
with, these servers:
– IBM z15 T01 (M/T 8561) and IBM z15 T02 (M/T 8562).
– IBM z14 (M/T 3906) and IBM z14 ZR1 (M/T 3907).
– This is both a direct CPC-CPC connectivity requirement, as well as anywhere in the
sysplex regardless of direct or indirect connectivity.
This means:
– Configurations with z/OS on one of these servers can add an IBM z16 server to their
Sysplex for either a z/OS or a Coupling Facility image.
– Configurations with a Coupling Facility on one of these servers can add an IBM z16 to
their Sysplex for either a z/OS or a Coupling Facility image.

– Use of Integrated Coupling Adapter (ICA SR) or Coupling Express2 LR (CE LR)
coupling links required.
Note: IBM z14 servers were the last generation servers to support HCA3-O and
HCA3-O LR (Infiniband coupling links). These HCA3-O and HCA3-O LR links are
NOT supported on IBM z14 ZR1, IBM z15 or IBM z16.
Memory considerations:
– Memory planning must consider the CFCC memory and structure size increases that
are associated with a new level of the CFCC.
– LPARS running the CFCC code may increase storage requirements when moving from
CF Level 24 (or earlier) to CF Level 25. In fact, structure size increases due CF Level
25 might be more noticeable than in prior CFLEVELs, specifically for structures that are
smaller (perhaps, 100MB or less).
– As a best practice, use the Coupling Facility Structure Sizer (CFSizer) Tool, which you
can find at:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/cfsizer
• Or the batch SIZER utility:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/cfsizer-alternate-sizing-techniques
– For re-sizing your CF structures as needed, make corresponding changes your CFRM
policy INITSIZE and/or SIZE values.
– Additionally, as in prior CF Levels, ensure that the CF LPAR has at least 512 MB
storage for the CFCC microcode.
9.5.1 Coupling Facility Control Code Level 25

The new CFCC Level 25 introduces changes and improvements in the following areas:
New Capability.
– Cache residency time metrics for directory/data entries.
Resiliency/Serviceability.
– Cache retry buffer support for IFCC retry idempotency.
– Lock record data reserved entries for structure full recovery.
Simplification.
Deprecate DYNDISP OFF/ON, keep only THIN option for shared-engine CF images.
Parallel Sysplex Scalability, Virtualization, Consolidation, Density.
– CF Image scalability improvements.
New ICA-SR 1.1 link protocol for the IBM z16.
– The ICA-SR 1.1 enhanced link protocol which reduces the link latency and service
times.
For more information about the enhancements that were made in CF level 25, see IBM z16
(3931)Technical Guide, SG24-8951 or IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ Technical Guide
SG24-8952.

9.6 Dynamic I/O for Standalone CF

Prior to the IBM z14 GA2 (Driver 36), a Standalone CF(SACF) could not change the I/O
configuration dynamically because of a missing HCD running in the IBM zSystem server.
Changing the I/O configuration for such a server is cumbersome, error-prone, and requires a
Power on Reset (POR).
Dynamic configuration capabilities for Standalone coupling facilities (SACFs) was introduced
on IBM z14 GA2 system and it is enabled by default on IBM z15 and IBM z16.
Stand Alone CFs have no co-resident z/OS (with HCD) images that can make hardware
dynamic I/O configuration changes on behalf of the CF partitions. Therefore, these I/O
changes require disruptive Initial Microcode Loads (IMLs) of the Stand Alone CF CPC, which
causes sysplex availability and complexity issues.
With new support, an activation service (firmware function) will be started on the Stand Alone
CF CPC to perform this role, which provides simple dynamically activated I/O changes with
no IML requirement.
New firmware communication pathways from the “driving” HCD managing the IODF changes,
via the HMC/SE, to the Standalone CF CPC, and ultimately the Master Control Services
(MCS) activation service (firmware function):
– For passing the modified target configuration.
– For driving the Dynamic I/O activate and associated recovery/management functions.
For more information, see the IBM z16 (3931) Technical Guide SG24-8951 or IBM z16 (3932)
Technical Guide, SG24-8952.
Note: For remote dynamic I/O activation to run on an IBM z14 system, Driver Level 36 or
later is required.
9.6.1 Preparation steps on IBM z14 only

If you are not using an IBM z15 or IBM z16, you must plan and perform a firmware update to
Driver Level 36 and HMC Version 2.14.1 on your earlier IBM zSystem generation.

1. Install the program temporary fixes (PTFs) for APARs for z/OS (OA54912) and Hardware
Configuration Manager (HCM) (IO25603). Make sure that the servers in the same Parallel
Sysplex are running on Driver Level 36 or higher, and then select the processor to update
the definitions on the appropriate server, as shown in Figure 9-15.

3. To do the activation, update the IOCDS with the updated configuration to the CF
processor, and then perform a POR.
After this “last” POR is done on the SACF CPC, then all subsequent dynamic I/O changes
can be done dynamically.
The dynamic activation is like the existing remote dynamic activation on a server that
supports z/OS LPARs, but for hardware only changes.
For more information about how to implement this new support, see 5.5.2, “Dynamic I/O
configuration for stand-alone CF” on page 121.
9.6.2 IBM Processor Resource/System Manager solution

With IBM z14 GA2, IBM z15, and IBM z16, dynamic activation of a new or changed IODF on
a Standalone CF CPC is supported:
Without requiring a POR/IML
Without requiring the presence (on the same CPC) of any z/OS or z/VM image running an
HCD instance
This is a base IBM Processor Resource/System Manager (PR/SM) solution; it does not
require the use of Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM) mode:
A firmware function is used, which is a firmware based appliance version of the HCD
instance.
The solution is fully managed by the IBM zSystem firmware.
The solution is included with the base firmware (no need to order a feature code).
For IBM z14 only, the activation of the firmware function requires Power-on Reset with an
IOCDS that includes and establishes the activation service on the standalone CF CPC before
this new capability can be used.
The firmware LPAR is activated by default on IBM z15 and IBM z16.
Once this “last” POR is done on the standalone CF CPC (IBM z14 only), then all subsequent
dynamic I/O changes can be done dynamically.
The firmware appliance LPAR on a supported system will be driven by an updated HCD
running in z/OS LPAR on a remote IBM zSystem (Driver Level 36 or newer), as shown on

Note: The examples shown in this chapter are based on the IBM z15 T01 (8561).
However, the examples also apply for the IBM z15 T02 (8562), the IBM z16 A01 (3931),
and the IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ (3932).

10.1 Crypto Express8S

This section provides information about the configuration of the Crypto Express8S feature on
an IBM z16. It covers cryptographic domains, configuration rules, and what to consider when
you are planning for a nondisruptive installation of cryptographic features.
The chapter includes the steps for defining and configuring the Crypto Express8S feature to a
logical partition (LPAR).
This section includes the following topics:

Crypto Express8S overview
Planning for a Crypto Express8S configuration
Configuring Crypto Express8S
Handling cryptographic coprocessors by using ICSF
10.1.1 Crypto Express8S overview

There are three generations of cryptographic coprocessors1 that are supported for IBM z16:
Crypto Express6S, Feature Code 0893, carry forward only (miscellaneous equipment
specification (MES) from IBM z14, IBM z14 ZR1 or IBM z15)
Crypto Express7S, Feature Codes 0899 (one adapter on card) and 0898 (two adapters on
card), carry forward only (MES from IBM z15)
Crypto Express8S, Feature Codes 0909 (one adapter on card) and 0908 (two adapters on
card)
This section describes the Crypto Express8S features for the IBM z16 system.
Each cryptographic coprocessor of an IBM z16 A01 has 85 physical sets of registers, which
corresponds to the maximum number of LPARs running on an IBM z16 A01. The IBM z16
A02 and IBM z16 AGZ have 40 sets. Each of these sets belongs to a domain as follows:
A cryptographic domain index, in the range of 0 - 84, (0 - 39 on an IBM z16 A02 and IBM
z16 AGZ) is allocated to an LPAR by the definition of the partition in its image profile. The
same domain must also be allocated to the Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility
(ICSF) instance running in the LPAR that uses the Options data set.
Each ICSF instance accesses only the master keys that correspond to the domain number
that is specified in the LPAR image profile at the Support Element (SE) and in its Options
data set. Each ICSF instance sees a logical cryptographic coprocessor that consists of the
physical cryptographic engine and the unique set of registers (the domain) that is
allocated to this LPAR.
1 Regional Crypto Enablement (RCE) is also supported, but it is not covered here.

The installation of CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) Data Encryption Standard
(DES) / Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) Enablement (Feature Code 3863) is one of
the prerequisites for using the special hardware cryptographic feature in an IBM z16. Feature
Code 3863 enables the following functions:
For data privacy and confidentially: DES, TDES, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for
128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit keys. Also with Feature Code 3863, the Modulo arithmetic unit
is enabled, which supports Elliptic Curve Cryptography for verification and signing by
using NIST P256, P384, and P521 curves; Brainpool Curves P256, P384 and P512; and
Edward curves Ed25519 and Ed448 with clear keys.
For data integrity: Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) 160-bit, and SHA-2 for 224-, 256-,
384-, and 512-bit support. SHA-3 for 224-, 256- 384-, and 512-bit support, and SHAKE for
128- and 256-bit support. SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA3 are enabled on all IBM z16 A01
systems, and they do not require the no-charge enablement Feature Code 3863.
For Key Generation: Pseudo-Random Number Generation (PRNG), Deterministic
Random Number Generation (DRNG), and True Random Number Generation (TRNG).
For message authentication code: Single-key message authentication code and
double-key message authentication code.
The total number of cryptographic Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)

adapters (combined Crypto Express8S, Crypto Express7S, or Crypto Express6S features)
cannot exceed 60 per IBM z16. Up to 16 cards with 1 PCIe adapter can be used (Crypto
Express6S or Crypto Express7S 1 port carried forward, or Crypto Express8S 1 port), or up to
30 cards with 2 PCIe adapters (Crypto Express7S 2 port carried forward, or Crypto
Express8S 2 port) resulting in 60 PCIe adapters.
The IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ support up to 20 cards with 2 PCIe adapters (Crypto
Express7S 2 port carried forward or Crypto Express8S 2 port resulting in 40 PCIe adapters.
The initial order for Crypto Express8S is two features (two PCIe adapters for Feature Code
0909, and four PCIe adapters for Feature Code 0908). After the initial order, the minimum
order is one feature.
Each Crypto Express8S Feature Code 0909 contains one PCIe adapter, and each Crypto
Express8S Feature Code 0908 contains one PCIe adapter. The adapter can be in the
following configurations:
Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) Coprocessor (CEX8C)
Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11 (EP11) Coprocessor (CEX8P)
Accelerator (CEX8A)
During the feature installation, the PCIe adapter is configured by default as the CCA
coprocessor.
The configuration of the Crypto Express8S adapter as an EP11 coprocessor requires a

Trusted Key Entry (TKE) workstation Hardware 10.0 (Feature Code 0057 for the
rack-mounted workstation, and Feature Code 0058 for the tower workstation) with TKE 10.0
Licensed Internal Code (LIC) (Feature Code 0882).
The Crypto Express8S feature does not use channel path IDs (CHPIDs) from the channel
subsystem (CSS) pool. However, the Crypto Express8S feature requires one slot in a PCIe
I/O drawer, and one physical channel ID (PCHID) for each PCIe cryptographic adapter.

0058/0088 TKE tower workstations

A TKE provides basic key management (key identification, exchange, separation,
updates, and backup) and security administration. It is optional for running a Crypto
Express feature in CCA mode in a non-PCI-compliant environment. It is required for
running in EP11 mode and CCA mode with full PCI compliance. The TKE workstation
has one Ethernet port, and supports connectivity to an Ethernet local area network

For more information about the Crypto Express8S feature and the corresponding crypto
features, see IBM z16 (3931) Technical Guide, SG24-8951, or IBM z16 (3932) Technical
Guide SG24-8952.
10.1.2 Planning for a Crypto Express8S configuration
Note: New ICSF support is required to administer a Crypto Express8S coprocessor using
a TKE workstation, due to exploitation of quantum algorithms. Otherwise, existing
workloads will run on IBM z16 A01 without requiring ICSF support.
Exploitation of new function is supplied in ICSF PTFs on z/OS V2.2 - V2.4 (Web
deliverable HCR77D1, can be downloaded from the z/OS downloads website) or V2.5
(base, which is HCR77D2). When exploiting new quantum-safe Algorithms and sharing a
KDS in a sysplex, ensure all ICSF PTFs are installed on all systems.
All supported levels of ICSF automatically detect what HW cryptographic capabilities are
available where it is running, then enables functions accordingly. No toleration of new HW
is necessary, it is “just there”. If you want to exploit new capabilities, then ICSF support is
necessary.
For the latest MCL bundle requirements, see the Driver Level 51 Exception Letter.
The IBM z16 always operates in LPAR mode. The concept of dedicated coprocessor does not
apply to the PCIe adapter. A PCIe adapter, whether configured as a coprocessor or

accelerator, is made available to LPARs as directed by the domain assignment and the
candidate list. This process occurs regardless of the shared or dedicated status that is given
to the central processors (CPs) in the partition.
The IBM z16 A01 enables up to 85 LPARs to be active concurrently. The IBM z16 A02 and
IBM z16 AGZ enable up to 40 LPARs to be active concurrently. Each PCIe adapter on a
Crypto Express8S feature supports 85 domains on an IBM z16 A01 and 40 domains on an
IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ, whether it is configured as a Crypto Express8S coprocessor
or a Crypto Express8S accelerator.
For availability reasons, the minimum configuration consists of two Crypto Express8S
features so that every potential LPAR can have access to two cryptographic adapters on two
different cards.
More Crypto Express8S features might be needed to satisfy application performance and
availability requirements:
For availability, spread the assignment of multiple PCIe adapters of the same type
(accelerator or coprocessor) to one LPAR across features in multiple I/O domains.
Using retained private keys on a PCIe adapter that is configured as a Crypto Express8S
coprocessor creates an application single point of failure. This point of failure exists
because RSA-retained private keys are not copied or backed up.
There is an intrusion latch within the PCIe adapter logic that is set when the feature is
removed from the system. If the feature is reinstalled and power is applied, the
coprocessor keys and secrets are zeroed and the intrusion latch is reset.
If a TKE workstation is available, disable the PCIe adapter before you remove the feature
from the system. When the feature is reinstalled, the coprocessor keys and secrets are not
zeroed. The intrusion latch is reset, and the coprocessor remains in the disabled state.
The PCIe adapter then can be enabled from the TKE and normal operations can resume.
Plan the definition of domain indexes and cryptographic coprocessor numbers in the
Candidate list for each LPAR to prepare the cryptographic configuration. You can also
define or change that cryptographic definition dynamically to an active LPAR with a
running system. For more information, see “Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls
function” on page 243.
Crypto Express8S features can be installed concurrently when all physical requirements
are fulfilled. Dynamically enabling a new PCIe adapter to a partition requires these
configurations:
– At least one usage domain index must be defined to the LPAR.
– The cryptographic coprocessor numbers must be defined in the partition candidate list.
The same usage domain index can be defined more than once across multiple LPARs.
However, the cryptographic coprocessor number that is coupled with the usage domain
index that is specified must be unique across all active LPARs.
The same cryptographic coprocessor number and usage domain index combination can
be defined for more than one LPAR. This feature can be used, for example, to define a
configuration for backup situations. In this case, only one of the LPARs can be active at
any one time.
Newly installed Crypto Express8S features are assigned coprocessor numbers
sequentially during the Power on Reset (POR) that follows the installation.
However, when a Crypto Express8S feature is installed concurrently by using the
Nondisruptive Hardware Change task, the installation might select an out-of-sequence
coprocessor number from the unused range. In this case, communicate the cryptographic
coprocessor numbers that you want to use to the IBM installation team.

When the task is used to concurrently remove a PCI cryptographic feature, the
coprocessor number is automatically freed.
Table 10-2 is a simplified configuration map for an IBM z16 A01. For an IBM z16 A02 and IBM
z16 AGZ the last column should be for Domain Index 39. Each row identifies a PCIe adapter,
and each column identifies a domain index number. Each cell entry indicates the LPAR to be
assigned to the cryptographic coprocessor number that is coupled with the usage domain
index.

Table 10-2 illustrates these characteristics:

LPARs LP00 and LP01 use domain 0 (zero), but are assigned different PCIe adapters.
There is no conflict. They can be concurrently active.
LPAR LP02 uses domain 0 (zero) on the set of cryptographic adapters that are already
defined to LP00 and LP01. Therefore, LP02 cannot be active concurrently with either
LP00 or LP01. However, the definition might be valid for backup situations.
LPARs LP04 and LP05 use different domain numbers for PCIe cryptographic adapter 0
(zero), so there is no conflict. The combination of domain number and cryptographic
coprocessor number is unique across partitions.
Important: Any combination of PCIe adapter and domain index should contain only
one active LPAR. The combination of cryptographic coprocessor number and usage
domain index must be unique across all active LPARs.

Technical Guide, SG24-8951 and IBM z16 (3932) Technical Guide, SG24-8952.
10.1.3 Configuring Crypto Express8S

This section provides steps for configuring Crypto Express8S for the IBM z16 A01.
Note: The same steps below can be used for configuring Crypto Express8S for the IBM

The IBM z16 operates only in LPAR mode. For each LPAR that requires access to a PCIe
adapter, which is configured as either an accelerator or a coprocessor, the required
information must be defined in the partition image profile. This technique ensures the correct
use of the cryptographic features when the associated partition is activated.
Concurrent changes to the Crypto Express8S features and controls when the partition is
already activated are provided by special functions on the SE.
Checking whether the CPACF DES / TDES Enablement feature is

installed
The IBM z16 Feature Code 3863 enables the DES and TDES algorithms on the CPACF. It is
one of the prerequisites for using the Crypto Express8S feature. You must verify whether the
CPACF feature is correctly installed on the processor before you configure cryptographic
functions. This information is displayed in the SE and can be verified by completing the
following steps:
1. Log on to the SE directly or click Single Object Operations from the Hardware
Management Console (HMC).
2. Open the System details menu of the central processor complex (CPC) at the SE

Feature Code 3863 is installed:
– If the window shows the message “CP Assist for Crypto Functions: Installed”, the
CPACF enablement Feature Code 3863 is enabled.

– If the window shows the message “CP Assist for Crypto Functions: Not installed”,
Feature Code 3863 is not installed. You can still customize the partition image profiles,
but the cryptographic functions do not operate.
Logical partition cryptographic definition

The next step is to define the following cryptographic resources in the image profile for each
LPAR:
Usage domain index
Control domain index
PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor Candidate List
PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor Online List
This task is accomplished by using the Customize/Delete Activation Profile task, which is in
the Operational Customization Group, either from the HMC or from the SE. Modify the
cryptographic initial definition from the Crypto option in the image profile, as shown in
Figure 10-2. After this definition is modified, any change to the image profile requires you to
DEACTIVATE and ACTIVATE the LPAR for the change to take effect. Therefore, this kind of
cryptographic definition is disruptive to a running system.
Tip: Operational changes can be made by using the Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls
task from the SE, which reflects the cryptographic definitions in the image profile for the
partition. With this function, you can dynamically add and remove the cryptographic feature
without stopping a running operating system (OS). For more information about using this
function, see “Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls function” on page 243.
Figure 10-2 Customize Image Profiles: Crypto

The cryptographic resource definitions have the following meanings:

Control Domain
Identifies the cryptographic coprocessor domains that can be administered from this LPAR
if it is being set up as the TCP/IP host for the TKE.
If you are setting up the host TCP/IP in this LPAR to communicate with the TKE, the
partition is used as a path to other domains’ Master Keys. Indicate all the control domains
that you want to access (including this partition’s own control domain) from this partition.
Control and Usage Domain
Identifies the cryptographic coprocessor domains that are assigned to the partition for all
cryptographic coprocessors that are configured on the partition. The usage domains
cannot be removed if they are online.
The numbers that are selected must match the domain numbers that are entered in the
Options data set when you start this partition instance of ICSF.
The same usage domain index can be used by multiple partitions regardless to which CSS
they are defined. However, the combination of PCIe adapter number and usage domain
index number must be unique across all active partitions.
Cryptographic Candidate list
Identifies the cryptographic coprocessor numbers that are eligible to be accessed by this
LPAR. From the list, select the coprocessor numbers, in the range 0 - 15, that identify the
PCIe adapters to be accessed by this partition.
No error condition is reported when a cryptographic coprocessor number, which is
selected in the partition candidate list, is available to the partition when the partition is
activated, either because it is configured off or not installed. The cryptographic
coprocessor number is ignored and the activation process continues.
If the cryptographic coprocessor number and usage domain index combination for the
coprocessor that is selected is already in use by another active LPAR, the activation of the
LPAR fails (see Figure 10-3). In this conflicting case, you must review the cryptographic
information for all active LPARs from the Summary tab of the View LPAR Cryptographic
Controls task (see Figure 10-5 on page 243). Resolve the error based on the collected
data by assigning a unique combination of PCIe adapter number and usage domain index
number.
Figure 10-3 Activation of LPAR failed: ACTZ01DD

Cryptographic Online list

Identifies the cryptographic coprocessor numbers that are automatically brought online
during LPAR activation. The numbers that are selected in the online list must also be part
of the candidate list.
After the next partition activation, installed PCI Cryptographic Coprocessors that are in the
partition’s PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor Candidate list but not on the PCI Cryptographic
Coprocessor Online list are in a configured off state (Standby). They can later be
configured online to the partition by selecting Configure On/Off from the SE. For more
information, see “Configuring a Crypto Express8S online or offline on a logical partition”
on page 254.
When the partition is activated, no error condition is reported if a cryptographic
coprocessor number that is selected in the partition’s online list is not installed. The
cryptographic coprocessor is ignored and the activation process continues.
When a cryptographic coprocessor number that is selected in the partition’s online list was
previously configured to an off state to the partition, it is automatically configured back to
an on state when the partition is activated. The cryptographic online list is always selected
from the image profile for each LPAR.
Cryptographic configuration by using the Support Element

From the SE, you can do these tasks:
Display PCI Cryptographic Configuration.
Display LPAR cryptographic controls (domain index and candidate/online lists for activated
partitions).
Reconfigure the coprocessor from and to the accelerator.
Configure a cryptographic coprocessor and accelerator on or off to an LPAR.
Change LPAR cryptographic controls to an LPAR.
These tasks require you to work from the SE. To get to the appropriate SE task, log on to the
SE directly or click Single Object Operations from the HMC.
Cryptographic management
After you select the CPCs, click Cryptographic Management in the Configuration section.
Figure 10-4 on page 242 shows the Cryptographic Management window. Use this window to
obtain the installed cryptographic configuration (the association of the cryptographic number
and the card serial number).
View installed cryptographic features, including their statuses and assigned PCHIDs and
coprocessor numbers. Each PCIe adapter is assigned to a coprocessor number, in the
range 0 - 59, as part of the configuration process. The assignment is made when the
feature is installed.
View coprocessor numbers that are still assigned to removed cryptographic features.
Initiate the release of coprocessor numbers. Remove the relationship only when a Crypto
Express8S feature is permanently removed from the CPC.
The release option removes the relationship between a PCI cryptographic feature serial
number and the assigned coprocessor numbers. Removing the relationship frees the
coprocessor numbers, making them available to be assigned to a new feature serial
number.

Important: The coprocessor numbers are assigned to the feature serial number, not to
the installed location. If a feature is removed from one location to be reinstalled in
another location, the coprocessor number assignment remains.
Figure 10-4 SE Cryptographic Management
View LPAR Cryptographic Controls task

You can view active partition cryptographic definitions from the SE by selecting the CPCs and
clicking View LPAR Cryptographic Controls in the Operational Customization pane.
The window that opens shows the definition of Usage and Control domain indexes, and PCI
Cryptographic candidate and online lists. The information is provided only for active LPARs.
Tip: You can review the PCI Cryptographic candidate lists and usage domain indexes that
are assigned for all active LPAR from the Summary tab (see Figure 10-5 on page 243).
The usage domain index, in combination with the cryptographic number that is selected in
the candidate list, must be unique across all partitions that are defined to the CPC.
Therefore, this new tab is useful when you define or change the usage domain index for an
LPAR.

Figure 10-5 View LPAR Cryptographic Controls
This window is for informational purposes only. You can see the definitions, but you cannot
change them by using this window. Modifying the cryptographic coprocessor on/off status
requires using the Configure On/Off task, which is described in “Configuring a Crypto
Express8S online or offline on a logical partition” on page 254.
Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls function

For each LPAR, you can define these attributes:
Usage domain index
Control domain index
Cryptographic Coprocessor Candidate list
Cryptographic Coprocessor Online list
Using the Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls function, which is included in the SE for the
IBM z16 A01, you can do these tasks:
Add a cryptographic coprocessor to an LPAR for the first time.

Add a cryptographic coprocessor to an LPAR using a cryptographic coprocessor.

Remove a cryptographic coprocessor from an LPAR.
Zeroize or clear the cryptographic secure keys for a usage domain.
Dynamic assignment of the cryptographic definition to the partition

All the cryptographic functions that are defined in the image profile can be dynamically
changed by using the Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls task at the SE. For more
information about defining functions in the image profile, see “Logical partition cryptographic
definition” on page 239.
Select the Control and Usage for each domain and the cryptographic Candidate and Online
for each crypto (see Figure 10-6).
Figure 10-6 Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls: Change Running System
After selecting the appropriate boxes, you can do these tasks:

Save these settings to the image profile without changing the running system.
Change the running system without saving the definition to the image profile, which means
after a reactivation of the partition your changes are lost.
Remember: Changes to the Cryptographic Coprocessor Online List are ignored when
this option is selected.
Save the definitions to the image profile and activate the changes immediately to the
partition.

When you add or change the control or usage domain index and cryptographic coprocessor
number dynamically for a running system, a confirmation message appears. After processing,
a status window opens and indicates the result of a dynamic addition or change of a
cryptographic definition to an LPAR (see Figure 10-7).
Figure 10-7 SE: Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls
Dynamic removal of the cryptographic definition

You can remove the cryptographic definition from an LPAR dynamically by using the Change
LPAR Cryptographic Controls task. This section addresses the related issues and describes
the procedure.

1. Before you change the cryptographic settings by using the Change LPAR Cryptographic
Controls task, verify that the cryptographic lists that you want to remove from an LPAR are
offline (Standby). For more information about setting the cryptographic channel status, see
“Configuring a Crypto Express8S online or offline on a logical partition” on page 254. If
you try to remove the lists dynamically while they are online, the change fails and you
receive the message that is shown in Figure 10-8.
Figure 10-8 SE: Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls: ACT33692
Besides adding or changing cryptographic settings for an LPAR, you can remove the
Control and Usage domains or Cryptographic Candidate lists for an LPAR from the
Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls window (see Figure 10-6 on page 244).
After clearing the definitions for an LPAR, remove a definition dynamically by clicking
Change Running System. To save the new configuration to the image profile without
changing the running system, select Save to Profiles. With Save and Change, the
removal becomes concurrently active, and the removed cryptographic coprocessor also is
not used for the next image activation.

2. When you remove the only definition of the cryptographic lists, the zeroize window opens
(see Figure 10-9).
Consideration: Because you cannot see all cryptographic information, including the
usage domains for other LPARs, you might need to check the information in the View
LPAR Cryptographic Controls window before you continue. For more information
about zeroize, see “Reconfiguration of the PCIe adapter type” on page 247.
Figure 10-9 SE: Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls: Zeroize
3. In the confirmation window (see Figure 10-10), click OK to dynamically change the
cryptographic settings. You also must enter your user password to confirm this change.
After processing, a status window indicates the result of the dynamic change of
cryptographic definition to an LPAR.
Figure 10-10 SE: Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls: ACT33680

Reconfiguration of the PCIe adapter type

Each PCIe Crypto Express8S feature can be configured either as a coprocessor or as an
accelerator. Each Crypto Express8S feature can be set in these configurations:
CCA Coprocessor (CEX8C)
PKCS #11 (EP11) Coprocessor (CEX8P)
Accelerator (CEX8A)
Whether it is configured as a coprocessor or an accelerator, each PCIe Cryptographic

adapter can be shared among 85 LPARs.
To reconfigure the cryptographic coprocessor, it must be offline to all LPARs. To put a

cryptographic coprocessor online or offline on an LPAR requires using the Configure On/Off
task, which is described in “Configuring a Crypto Express8S online or offline on a logical
partition” on page 254. In the following example, we reconfigure the cryptographic
coprocessor number 05, which is set offline to all LPARs.
Configuring a CCA coprocessor as an accelerator

During the installation of a Crypto Express8S feature, the PCIe Cryptographic adapter is
configured by default as a CCA coprocessor. The reconfiguration is fully supported in LIC.
When a PCIe adapter is configured as a CCA coprocessor, it can still run accelerator
functions, albeit much more slowly than when configured as accelerator. When it is configured
as an accelerator, it cannot run coprocessor functions.
When a PCIe adapter is configured as an EP11 coprocessor, a TKE workstation is required

for the management of the Crypto Express8S. For more information about configuring an
EP11 coprocessor, see “Configuring a CCA coprocessor as an EP11 coprocessor” on
page 251.
To reconfigure the PCIe adapter from coprocessor to accelerator, complete the following
steps:
1. Select the CPC that has cryptographic coprocessor adapters that you want to reconfigure,
and then click the Cryptographic Configuration task in the Configuration Group.
2. The reconfiguration is enabled only for PCIe adapters that are off. Therefore, be sure that
the PCIe Cryptographic adapter status for that cryptographic coprocessor channel is
unconfigured. If necessary, set the PCIe Cryptographic adapter to Off for all partitions that
have it in their candidate list. To set the PCIe Cryptographic adapter to Off, use the
procedure that is described in “Configuring a Crypto Express8S online or offline on a
logical partition” on page 254.

3. Select the number of the cryptographic coprocessor channel (see Figure 10-11) and click
Crypto Type Configuration.
Figure 10-11 Cryptographic Configuration task (unconfigured)
4. Change the configuration for the cryptographic coprocessor adapter. The selected
cryptographic coprocessor channel is configured as a coprocessor (see Figure 10-12).
Select Accelerator.
Figure 10-12 Crypto Type Configuration (CCA coprocessor to accelerator)
By selecting Accelerator, you can zeroize the selected coprocessor by also selecting
Zeroize the Coprocessor on the Crypto Type Configuration window. However, clear the
Zeroize the Coprocessor check box and click Apply.
Important: Zeroizing one or all cryptographic coprocessors clears their configuration

data and all cryptographic keys. Zeroizing also erases configuration data from the SE
hard disk drive (HDD) (for example, UDX files). Zeroize cryptographic coprocessors
manually only when necessary, typically when the cryptographic coprocessor
configuration data must be erased completely. In normal cases, be sure to clear the
check box for each cryptographic channel.

5. Click Yes (see Figure 10-13).
Figure 10-13 Crypto Type Configuration Confirmation for accelerator
6. Verify that your request completed successfully. Click OK.

7. You are returned to the Crypto Type Configuration window. Click Cancel. You are returned
to the Cryptographic Configuration window. Confirm that the target cryptographic channel
changed to the cryptographic accelerator type. The Crypto Serial Number, Operating
Mode, and TKE Commands should be “Not available” until the cryptography is set to
Online again, as described in “Configuring a Crypto Express8S online or offline on a
logical partition” on page 254.
After you perform this task and go back to the Cryptographic Configuration window, the
information in Figure 10-14 appears.
Note: UDX support is not available for a Crypto Express8S that is defined as an EP11
coprocessor and accelerator.
Figure 10-14 Cryptographic Configuration (Accelerator online)

8. Click View Details for detailed information (see Figure 10-15).
Figure 10-15 Cryptographic Details (Accelerator)
The Cryptographic Type is now a Crypto Express8S Accelerator. The adapter was not
zeroized during the type-changing procedure.
The procedure for changing the type of the cryptographic configuration from a coprocessor to
a accelerator is complete. To change the accelerator back to a coprocessor, the same
procedure can be used, but select Coprocessor instead of Accelerator, as shown in
The result of this change is shown in Figure 10-16 on page 251.

Figure 10-16 Cryptographic Details (CCA Coprocessor)
Configuring a CCA coprocessor as an EP11 coprocessor

To configure a CCA coprocessor as an EP11 coprocessor, complete the following steps:
1. Select the CPC that has cryptographic coprocessor adapters that you want to reconfigure
and click Cryptographic Configuration in the CPC Configuration Group.
2. The reconfiguration is enabled only for PCIe adapters that are set to Off, so be sure the
PCIe Cryptographic adapter status for that cryptographic coprocessor channel is
unconfigured (Figure 10-11 on page 248). If necessary, set the PCIe Cryptographic
adapter to Off for all partitions that have it in their candidate list. To set the PCIe
Cryptographic adapter to Off, use the procedure that is described in “Configuring a Crypto
Express8S online or offline on a logical partition” on page 254.
3. Select the number of the cryptographic coprocessor channel and click Crypto Type
Configuration.

4. Change the configuration for the cryptographic coprocessor adapter. Select EP11
Coprocessor (see Figure 10-17), which by default, automatically selects the Zeroize the
coprocessor option. Click Apply.
Figure 10-17 Crypto Type Configuration (CCA Coprocessor to EP11 Coprocessor)
5. Confirm your selection by clicking Yes (see Figure 10-18).
Figure 10-18 Crypto Type Configuration Confirmation for EP11 Coprocessor
6. Check that your request completed successfully. Click OK to return to the Crypto Type
Configuration window.
7. Click Cancel on the Crypto Type Configuration window to return to the Cryptographic
Configuration window. You can confirm that the target cryptographic channel changed to
the EP11 Coprocessor type in the Cryptographic Configuration task window. The Crypto
Serial Number, Operating Mode, and TKE Commands should be “Not available” until the
cryptography is set to Online again, as described in “Configuring a Crypto Express8S
online or offline on a logical partition” on page 254.

After you complete this task and return to the Cryptographic Configuration window, the
information in Figure 10-19 appears.
Figure 10-19 Cryptographic Configuration (EP11 Coprocessor online)
8. Click View Details to display the detailed information, as shown in Figure 10-20.
Figure 10-20 Cryptographic details (EP11 Coprocessor)
The Cryptographic Type is now a Crypto Express8S EP11 Coprocessor.
This step completes changing the type of the cryptographic configuration from a CCA
Coprocessor to an EP11 coprocessor. To change the configuration back to a CCA

Coprocessor, the same procedure can be used, but select CCA Coprocessor instead of
EP11 Coprocessor.
You can also switch the configuration mode from Accelerator to EP11 Coprocessor and from
EP11 to Accelerator by using the same process, but selecting Accelerator or EP11
Coprocessor as required.
Requirement: To manage a Crypto Express8S feature that is configured as an EP11

coprocessor, the TKE workstation is required.
Configuring a Crypto Express8S online or offline on a logical partition

For some changes to the cryptographic settings to the LPAR, you must configure the Crypto
Express8S online or offline. If you can reactivate (DEACTIVATE and ACTIVATE) the image for
the LPARs whose cryptographic online lists were updated, this dynamic operation is not
needed.
Setting a Crypto Express8S to an online state

To set a Crypto Express8S online, complete the following steps:
1. From the SE, select the System Management function.
2. Select the server, click Partitions, and then select the LPAR.
3. Click the Cryptos selection for the target LPAR.
4. In the Cryptos page, select the Crypto IDs to be changed. Figure 10-21 shows that on
server PAVO to LPAR PAVO33, eight cryptographic coprocessors are defined: Six CCA
coprocessor (ID 00, 02, 04, 05, 06 and 07, PCHID 0118, 017C, 0198, 0199, 01F8 and
01F9), and two accelerators (IDs 01 and 03, PCHIDs 0119 and 017D). The IDs 00, 02, 03,
04, 05, 06 and 07 are online, and the Accelerator ID 01 is offline. We now want to also set
this accelerator online.
Figure 10-21 System Management: LPAR Crypto Selection Standby
5. Select the cryptographic coprocessor and click Tasks → Crypto Service Operations →
Configure On/Off task (see Figure 10-22 on page 255). This task controls the online or
offline (standby) state of a cryptographic processor for LPARs that are defined in the
cryptographic processor’s candidate list.

Figure 10-22 Crypto Service Operations: LPAR Crypto Selection Configure Online
6. Select the cryptographic coprocessor channel number that you want, and then click
Select Action → Toggle to switch from Standby to Online (see Figure 10-23). If you want
multiple cryptographic channels concurrently, select Toggle All On.
Figure 10-23 Configure On/Off (Standby)
7. After confirming that your requested cryptographic coprocessor channel is set to the
wanted state of Online, click OK (see Figure 10-24).
Figure 10-24 Configure On/Off (Standby to Online)

8. Confirm that your request completed (see Figure 10-25). Click OK.

9. You can now view the contents of the Cryptos window of the LPAR to confirm that the
cryptographic channels are now in the Operating status (see Figure 10-26).
Figure 10-26 System Management: LPAR Crypto Selection Online
Changing a cryptographic channel to standby (offline) status

To change the cryptographic channel status, complete the following steps:
1. Select the LPAR whose Crypto IDs you want to change to Standby. For example, select
the accelerator (03) that is in an online state. Click Tasks → Crypto Service
Operations → Configure On/Off task (see Figure 10-27).

10.1.4 Handling cryptographic coprocessors by using ICSF

ICSF provides an Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) Coprocessor Management
panel where you can display or change the status (Active or Deactivate) of cryptographic
coprocessors. This action affects only the coprocessor status of ICSF, and has no effect on
the Online/Standby hardware status that is displayed on the IBM z16 A01 SE.
It is not the purpose of this section to show how to create, load, and manage keys in the
cryptographic adapters. For that information, see the ICSF literature. This section shows only
how to activate and deactivate a cryptographic coprocessor and display the hardware status.

10.2 Virtual Flash Memory

This section provides information about the configuration of the Virtual Flash Memory (VFM)
feature on an IBM z16 A01. It covers the following topics:
VFM overview
Planning for VFM configuration
Configuring VFM
VFM management

10.2.1 VFM overview

The VFM is the replacement for the Flash Express features that were available on the zEC12,
zBC12, z13, and z13s systems. VFM offers up to 6.0 TB on IBM z16 A01 and 2.0 TB on the
IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ, in 512 GB increments. No application changes are required
to change from Flash Express to VFM.
VFM is designed to help improve availability and handling of paging workload spikes when
running z/OS V2.1 or newer. With this support, z/OS is designed to help improve system
availability and responsiveness by using VFM across transitional workload events, such as
market openings and diagnostic data collection. z/OS is also designed to help improve
processor performance by supporting middleware exploitation of pageable large
(1 MB) pages.
Using VFM can help availability by reducing latency from paging delays that can occur at the
start of the workday or during other transitional periods. It is also designed to help eliminate
delays that can occur when collecting diagnostic data during failures. VFM can also be used
in Coupling Facility (CF) images to provide extended capacity and availability for workloads by
using IBM WebSphere® MQ Shared Queues structures.
VFM can help organizations meet their most demanding service level agreements and
compete more effectively. VFM is easy to configure provide rapid time to value.
For more information about the VFM feature, see IBM z16 (3931) Technical Guide,
SG24-8951 and IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ Technical Guide, SG8952.
10.2.2 Planning for VFM configuration

For planning considerations, see “Planning considerations for Virtual Flash Memory” on
page 24.
10.2.3 Configuring VFM
Note: The screen shots in this section are taken on a IBM z15 T01, but all steps and
screens are basically the same for all IBM z16 models.
The assignment of VFM to LPARs is exclusively done with the definitions in the image
activation profiles.
Note: Unlike the Flash Express cards, the allocation of VFM to LPARs cannot be altered to
an activated LPAR. So, the Manage Flash Allocation selection on the HMC is not
supported for IBM z14, IBM z14 ZR1, IBM z15 T01, IBM z15 T02 and IBM z16 A01, A02
and AGZ systems.
Consider the following items when you allocate VFM to a partition:

When an allocation is first defined, you must set the initial and maximum allocation in
16 GB increments.
A storage-class memory (SCM) allocation is put online to the z/OS image that is assigned
to the partition at IPL time unless the z/OS image is configured not to do so.

z/OS enables more memory to be configured online, up to the maximum memory that is
defined in this window or up to the maximum VFM that is available and not used by other
LPARs.
Minimum amounts are allocated from the available pool, so they cannot be overallocated.
Maximum amounts can be overallocated up to the VFM LICCC value of the IBM z16 A01.
Maximum amounts must be greater than or equal to the initial amounts.
To allocate VFM to a partition, select the LPAR on the HMC and click Operational
Customization → Customize/Delete Activation Profiles. Then, select the image profile
and click Customize profile. The Initial and the Maximum values for the VFM are specified
on the Storage tab. This configuration is shown in Figure 10-40.
Figure 10-40 Virtual Flash Memory allocation in an image profile
In this example, the initial value is set to 16 GB, and the maximum value is set to 32 GB. The
IBM z15 T01 system has two VFM features that are installed, which enables a maximum of
1024 GB allocated to the LPAR.
These definitions do not change the settings of a running LPAR. They are used only for the
activation of the LPAR. A newly activated LPAR starts with the specified amount of initial VFM.
If in the image activation profile of an LPAR an amount of initial VFM storage greater than the
available amount of deallocated VFM on the IBM z15 T01 is specified, the activation of this
LPAR fails with message ACTZ01EB, as illustrated in Figure 10-41 on page 266.

Figure 10-41 Insufficient VFM available: ACTZ01EB
Note: For a CF LPAR, it is also possible to define an initial value and a higher maximum
value for VFM in the image profile. However, it does not make sense to set the maximum
value higher than the initial value because the Coupling Facility Control Code (CFCC) does
not support any command to set any reserved memory online.
10.2.4 VFM management
Note: The screen shots in this section are taken on a IBM z15 T01, but all steps and
screens are basically the same for all IBM z16 models.
The memory allocation of an IBM z16 A01 system is shown on the SE in the Storage
Information window. To view it, click the server and select Operational Customization →
Storage Information. The Base System Storage Allocation window opens, as shown in
Figure 10-42.
Figure 10-42 Storage Information: Base System Storage Allocation
The IBM z15 T01 in our examples (ARIES) has 1024 GB installed, of which 64 GB are
allocated to activated LPARs.

The Logical Partition Storage Allocation window shows the VFM allocation of the LPARs. For
every LPAR, the initial and the maximum amount of VFM is listed (which were specified in the
image activation profile), and the currently allocated amount, as shown in Figure 10-43.
Figure 10-43 Storage Information: Logical Partition Storage Allocation
In z/OS for Flash Express and VFM, the PAGESCM parameter is supported in IEASYSxx. The
syntax is shown in Example 10-1. This parameter determines whether and how much SCM is
made available to an LPAR at IPL time.
Example 10-1 PAGESCM parameter

PAGESCM={xxxxxxM }
{xxxxxxG }
{xxT }
{ALL }
{NONE }
{0 }
This parameter specifies the minimum amount of SCM that should be made available for use
as auxiliary storage. The system reserves this amount of SCM during IPL for subsequent use
as auxiliary storage. Extra SCM is allocated on an as-needed basis if use of this initial amount
of SCM is exceeded.
You can specify the following value ranges for the PAGESCM parameter to reserve
SCM for paging at IPL:
xxxxxxM Specifies the amount of SCM to reserve for paging at IPL in
megabytes. This value can be 1 - 6 decimal digits.
xxxxxxG Specifies the amount of SCM to reserve for paging at IPL in
gigabytes. This value can be 1 - 6 decimal digits.

xxT Specifies the amount of SCM to reserve for paging at IPL in

terabytes. This value can be 1 - 2 decimal digits. The
maximum amount of SCM supported for paging is 16 TB.
ALL Reserves all SCM for paging at IPL.
NONE SCM is not used for paging. This parameter remains in effect
until the next IPL.
0 | 0M | 0G | 0T Indicates that no SCMs are reserved for paging at IPL.
Instead, SCM is allocated as needed based on paging
demand.
Default value ALL.
Associated parmlib member: None.
The CONFIG SCM command is used to set SCM online or offline to an LPAR (Example 10-2).
Example 10-2 CONFIG SCM

CONFIG SCM(ddddddddM|G|T),ONLINE|ON
CONFIG SCM(ddddddddM|G|T),OFFLINE|OFF
CONFIG SCM(scm_ranges),OFFLINE|OFF
The system reconfigures SCM both logically and physically. To bring SCM online, a number
must be specified. To take SCM offline, a range of starting and ending addresses of the SCM
blocks must be specified.
The command has the following values:

ddddddddM|G|T The amount of SCM to be reconfigured. Specify up to eight decimal
digits followed by a multiplier (M = megabytes, G = gigabytes, or T =
terabytes) for this amount. Check your processor configuration for the
supported SCM increment sizes. The value for dddddddd must be a
multiple of the SCM increment size (usually 2, 4, or 8), and cannot
exceed 16T.
Instead of specifying a decimal amount, you can alternatively specify a
hexadecimal amount, with or without a multiplier, in the following
format:
X'xxxxxx'
For example:
X'123456789A00000'
X'123'M
You can use underscore characters in any hexadecimal specification
for more clarity. Underscore characters in the specification are ignored
during processing.
Attention: If you take SCM offline and do not specify one or more scm_ranges, the system
selects which SCM increments to take offline.

ONLINE or ON The system brings the specified amount of SCM online. ONLINE is the
default value if only CONFIG SCM is specified. The system rejects the
command if you specify these values:
– A value that is not a multiple of the SCM increment size.
– A value that exceeds the total amount of SCM that is defined to this
partition.
– A value that is not a valid amount of SCM (0, for example).
– SCM is not supported or not defined on the system.
OFFLINE or OFF The system takes the specified amount or specified ranges of SCM
offline.
Attention: Taking SCM offline can affect data reliability and performance. Consider these
implications before taking SCM offline:
Your system must have enough auxiliary storage, which can include SCM and must
include page data sets, to back critical system data. The CONFIG SCM OFFLINE command
fails if taking the specified number of SCMs offline results in leaving auxiliary storage
more than 50% full.
SCM is used for paging critical address spaces and common address spaces. An
insufficient amount of SCM causes those address spaces to demote the larger pages to
page-to-page data sets, which can lead to a loss of critical data during a DASD
IBM HyperSwap® scenario.
SCM is used for paging large pages. If there is an insufficient amount of SCM, 1 MB
large pages are demoted to 256 4-KB pages and page-to-page data sets, which can
negatively affect system performance.
scm_ranges Specifies a range of SCMs or a list of ranges that are separated by

commas that are identified by ddd{M|G|T} - ddd{M|G|T}, for example,
0G - 16G or 32G - 64G. The starting and ending addresses for each
range of SCMs must be multiples of the increment size.
The DISPLAY ASM and DISPLAY M commands are enhanced to display information and statuses
that are related to VFM:
DISPLAY ASM Lists the SCM status along with the paging data set status.
DISPLAY ASM,SCM Displays a summary of SCM usage.
DISPLAY M=SCM Displays SCM online or offline and increment information.
DISPLAY M=SCM(DETAIL) Displays detailed increment-level information.
Tip: You might notice a difference in usage numbers between the DISPLAY M=SCM and
DISPLAY ASM commands. The difference is because of how ASM perceives its use of the
cache of available SCM block IDs that ASM maintains. To ASM, some block IDs are not in
use because they were not assigned to page out requests. However, to the DISPLAY M=SCM
command processor, block IDs are in use because they were assigned to ASM for its use.
VFM storage can also be used by CF LPARs running CFCC Level 25 on IBM z16 A01, CFCC
Level 24 on IBM z15 T01 and T02, and CFCC Level 22 or 23 on IBM z14 and IBM z14 ZR1.
Systems without this support cannot connect to or rebuild a structure by using SCM storage.

In 10.2.3, “Configuring VFM” on page 264, we allocate an initial VFM of 16 GB to the LPAR
ARIES21, and a maximum VFM of 32 GB, as shown in Figure 10-40 on page 265. Now, from
ARIES21, which is running the z/OS image SC76, we run the IBM MVS™
DISPLAY IPLINFO,PAGESCM command. Example 10-3 shows the results.
Example 10-3 DISPLAY IPLINFO,PAGESCM

DISPLAY IPLINFO,PAGESCM
IEE255I SYSTEM PARAMETER 'PAGESCM': NOT_SPECIFIED
Because PAGESCM parameter is not specified, the default value of ALL is used. If a VFM
allocation is defined for the LPAR and PAGESCM=ALL is specified (or kept at the default), then at
IPL time, the initial amount of VFM that is specified is used automatically by z/OS for paging.
Likewise, if a specific amount is specified, this amount is made available for paging.
From SC76, run the enhanced DISPLAY ASM and DISPLAY M commands to display the VFM
SCM-related information and status. The result for each command is shown in Example 10-4.
Example 10-4 Display commands

From these commands, you see that 32 GB of VFM is defined, but only 16 GB are online, and
the other 16 GB are offline-available.
To vary an additional 16 GB VFM online to the example LPAR, run the CONFIG
SCM(xxG),ONLINE command, as shown in Example 10-5. The amount of VFM that is
configured online must be specified according to the supported increment size. From these
displays, the supported increment size is 16G.
Example 10-5 CONFIG SCM(16G),ONLINE

When displaying the Storage Information windows on the SE again (compare to Figure 10-42
on page 266 and Figure 10-43 on page 267), this change in LPAR ARIES21 is reflected.
In Figure 10-44, the amount of allocated VFM went up to 80 GB (compared to the 64 GB in

Figure 10-44 Results of CONFIG SCM(16G),ONLINE in LPAR ARIES21 - Base System Storage

In Figure 10-45, the amount of VFM allocated to LPAR ARIES21 went up to 32 GB.
Figure 10-45 Results of CONFIG SCM(16G),ONLINE in LPAR ARIES21 - Logical Partition Storage
Allocation

You also can set VFM offline, even to an amount that is lower than the initial value that is
specified in the image activation profile. If for LPAR ARIES21 the amount of online VFM is
reduced to 0 GB by running CONFIG SCM(32G),OFFLINE, which results in the Storage
Information windows displayed in Figure 10-46 and Figure 10-47. In Figure 10-46, the amount
of allocated VFM went down to 48 GB.
Figure 10-46 Results after CONFIG SCM(32G),OFFLINE in LPAR ARIES21 - Base System Storage

In Figure 10-47, the amount of VFM allocated to LPAR ARIES21 went down to 0 GB, which is
lower than the initial 16 GB.
Figure 10-47 Results after CONFIG SCM(32G),OFFLINE in LPAR ARIES21 - Logical Partition Storage
Allocation

Note: An LPAR uses only the amount of VFM activated for that LPAR. VFM that is set
offline by the OS is returned to be used by other LPARs.
The allocation of VFM to a CF LPAR is done in the same way as for z/OS LPARs, which is
described in 10.2.3, “Configuring VFM” on page 264. The amount of SCM that is allocated to
a CF LPAR can be displayed in the Operating System Messages window at the HMC.
For example, LPAR ARIES2F, which allocated 32 GB of initial VFM storage, has a message
that shows the amount of SCM available, as shown in Example 10-7.

The CF must know the algorithm of how the structure is used by the application. Currently,
this algorithm is defined only for IBM MQ shared queues. To use this function, assign flash
memory to your coupling facilities (CFs) and update your structure definitions in your CFRM
policy with the new parameters SCMMAXSIZE and SCMALGORITHM. For more information, see
z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex, SA23-1399.
IBM MQ for z/OS Version 7 or later enables the migration of IBM MQ shared queue objects to
flash memory when the structure utilization exceeds the defined threshold. The IBM MQ
objects are fetched back to real CF Storage when requested. This process provides an
overflow capability for IBM MQ shared queues to handle workload peaks.
IBM Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) provides measurement data and reporting
capabilities for VFM and Flash Express. The support enhances RMF Postprocessor and
Monitor III reports with various new CF SCM statistics.
CF SCM statistics are provided in these reports:

(3932).

11.1 Defining more I/O by using HCD

When defining new I/O components in an IODF, certain definitions like OSCONFIGs,
partitions, FICON switches, control units (CUs), and devices must be done first. After these
items are defined, the connections can be made:
Defining an extra OSCONFIG
Defining extra operating system LPARs in a channel subsystem
The following I/O definitions use HCD to demonstrate the examples. The examples in this
section continue the work example SYS9.IODF81.WORK.
11.2 OSCONFIGs and logical partition definitions

This section covers defining OSCONFIGs, LPARs, and FICON switches.
An OSCONFIG describes the z/OS view of devices attached to a partition with it's operational
behavior and parameters and features. An LPAR is a hardware definition of a runtime
environment for an operating systems and devices visible it. FICON switches describe a
storage fabric, the cabling and connection of your IBM zSystem and attached storage server.
11.2.1 Defining an extra OSCONFIG

Here are the prerequisites for a new OSCONFIG:
OSCONFIG name:
– Eligible Device Table ID (EDT ID): Esoterics / VIO.
– Consoles.
To add devices to Esoterics and Consoles, they first must be added to an OSCONFIG.
To add an OSCONFIG by using HCD, complete the following steps:

1. From the main HCD panel, select option 1.1. Operating system configurations.
2. In the command line, enter add (see Figure 11-1) to add an OSCONFIG.
– Update OS configuration ID type to ITSOTEST.

Chapter 12. Adding storage devices

This chapter describes how to define Fibre Connection (FICON) switches and FICON
channel path IDs (CHPIDs), and connect them to a direct access storage device control unit
(CU). It includes a list of these potential configuration items and a short description about how
to configure each of them by using Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD).
This chapter shows only the definition process. If you want a deeper understanding about
how to use HCD and FICON, see these resources:
Review the z/OS HCD Planning, see IBM Documentation

FICON CHPIDs, switches, and direct access storage device control units
mentioned.
(3932).


When defining new I/O components in an input/output definition file (IODF), certain definitions
like operating system configurations (OSCONFIGs), partitions, FICON switches, CUs, and
devices must be done first. After these items are defined, the connections can be made:
Defining FICON switches (directors, storage area networks, and storage area network
switches)
Defining FICON CHPIDs and connecting them to a FICON switch
Defining FICON CHPIDs for a direct connection to a 2107 control unit
Defining FICON CHPIDs for switch connections to a 2107 control unit
Defining 3390B devices to an OSCONFIG and EDTs / Esoteric
The following I/O definitions use HCD to demonstrate the examples. The examples continue
by using the work example SYS9.IODF81.WORK.
12.1.1 Defining FICON switches (directors, storage area networks, and

storage area network switches)
The following items are considerations for a new FICON switch:
Switch ID
Switch type
Serial number (optional)
Description (optional)
Switch address
Installed port range
Switch CU number
Switch device number
To add a FICON Switch by using HCD, complete the following steps:

1. From the main HCD panel, select option 1.2. Switches.
2. In the command line, enter add (see Figure 12-1 on page 281) to add a switch.
3. Make the following updates (we used a switch ID value of 41), and press Enter:

12.2 FICON CHPIDs, switches, and direct access storage

device control units
This section covers;
defining FICON CHPIDs
connecting FICON CHPIDs to FICON switches
connecting to a direct access storage CU
connecting to directly attached devices
12.2.1 Defining FICON CHPIDs and connecting them to a FICON switch

Here are considerations for a new FICON CHPID:
CHPID
Channel ID (CHID)
Channel path type
Operational mode
Description
Dynamic entry switch ID
Entry switch ID
Entry port
Partition access list
Here are more considerations:

For performance and redundancy, determine how many CHPIDs are required to connect
to the FICON switch and then to one or more CUs.
For performance and redundancy, determine how many I/O cards of that feature are
installed in the processor and to what Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)
ports and on which central processor complex (CPC) drawer do the I/O cards connect to.
(For a list of installed hardware, see the physical channel ID (PCHID)/CHID report.)
After a CHPID is defined, it can then be added to a predefined partition in that channel
subsystem (CSS).
After a CHPID is defined, it can then be connected to a FICON switch.
After a CHPID is defined, it can then be connected to a CU (covered in a later step).
To define a FICON CHPID, connect to a FICON switch and provide access to a partition.
Then, complete the following steps1:
2. Enter s next to the processor that you want to add a CHPID to, and press Enter.
3. Enter s next to the CSS ID that you want to add a CHPID to, and press Enter.
4. Press PF11 or, in the command line, enter add (see Figure 12-3 on page 283) to add a
CHPID.
– Update Channel path ID to 14.
– Update Channel ID to 114.
– Update Channel path type to FC.
– Update Operational mode to SHR.

in this book we previously recommended to leave the PCHID blank and assign it using the CMT. For completeness.
these steps show how to assign them using the HCD.

– Update Description to whatever description that you want.

– Update Dynamic entry switch ID to 41.
– Update Entry switch ID to 41 (optional but preferred).
– Update Entry port to 10 (optional but preferred).

Here are considerations for a new FICON CHPID:
CHPID
CHID
Channel path type
Operational mode
Description

The direct connect method is used in an environment where there is only one processor. The
FICON switch method, in 12.2.3, “Defining FICON CHPIDs for switch connections to a 2107
control unit” on page 288, is used where multiple processors must connect to the same CUs.
This situation might not always be the case.
Here are considerations for connecting a FICON CHPID to a direct access storage device CU
and its devices:
installed in the processor and to what PCIe ports on what CPC drawer do the I/O cards
connect to. (For a list of installed hardware, see the PCHID/CHID report.)
After a CHPID is defined, it can then be added to a predefined partition in that CSS.
The CHPID can then be connected to a CU.
Note: For FICON Express16S+ (Feature Code #0427 and Feature Code #0428),
FICON Express16SAa (Feature Code #0436 and Feature Code #0437) and FICON
Express32S (Feature Code #0461 and Feature Code #0462), defining both FC and
FCP CHPID types on the same I/O card is not supported. (There is no mix supported
by IBM z16 at all). HCD issues the following error message during a Validate or Build
Production for an IODF:
CBDA964I Chpid type mix detected on processor PAVO for channels: 1.6C, 0.6D
a. FICON Express16SA is NOT supported on IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ.
To define a FICON CHPID that connects directly to a CU and provides access to a partition,
complete the following steps2:
4. Press PF11 or, in the command line, enter add to add a CHPID.
5. Make the following updates (see Figure 12-6 on page 286), and press Enter:
– Update Channel path type to FC.
– Update Description to the description that you want.

12.2.3 Defining FICON CHPIDs for switch connections to a 2107 control unit
There are two ways to define FICON connections to a CU: One is through a FICON switch,
and the other is direct connected covered in section 12.2.2, “Defining FICON CHPIDs for a
direct connection to a 2107 control unit” on page 284.
The direct connect method is used in an environment where there is only one processor. The
FICON switch method is used where multiple processors must connect to the same CUs. This
situation might not always be the case.
For FICON switch connections, there is usually a minimum of two FICON switches that the
FICON CHPIDs connect through, primarily for failure or service redundancy of the FICON
switches.
Note: The device type of the CU depends on your storage server. An IBM DS8K uses a
CU type of 2107.
For this example, we connect to a predefined 2107 CU (A000), with a CUADD of 40 and
devices A000-A0EF (3390B) and A0F0-A0FF (3390A).
Note: For FICON Express16S+ (Feature Code #0427 and Feature Code #0428),
FICON Express16SAa (Feature Code #0436 and Feature Code #0437) and FICON
Express32S (Feature Code #0461 and Feature Code #0462), defining both FC and
FCP CHPID types on the same I/O card is not supported. (There is no mix supported
by IBM z16 at all). HCD issues the following error message during a Validate or Build
Production for an IODF:
CBDA964I Chpid type mix detected on processor PAVO for channels: 1.6C, 0.6D
a. FICON Express16SA is NOT supported on IBM z16 A02 and IBM z16 AGZ.
To define FICON CHPIDs for a switch connection, complete the following steps:
1. From the main HCD panel, select option 1.4. Control units.
2. Scroll through the CU list until you find the CU that you want to connect to, or in the
command line enter L A000. In our example, we use A000.
3. Enter c next to the CU definition, and press Enter.

4. Make the following updates for a FICON switch connection (see Figure 12-9), and press
Enter:
a. Update Connected to switches to 41. Switch 41 is the switch ID that we defined in the
previous example.
b. Update Ports to 11. Port 11 is the FICON switch port that the CU connects to (also
known as the Destination Link Address (DLA) of the FICON CHPID).

HCD now shows the Select Processor / CU panel. This panel is where the connection is
now made between the FICON CHPID (14) and the CU FICON Switch Port (11) through
the FICON switch (41).
5. Enter c next to the Processor.CSS that contains the partition that we want to have access
to the CU and also has access to the CHPID that we want to connect to the CU. In our
example, we use PAVO.3, and then press Enter.
6. Make the following updates to define the Processor / CU connection panel (see
Figure 12-10 on page 290), and press Enter:
a. Update Channel path IDs to 14. CHPID 14 is the CHPID that we defined in the
previous example.
b. Update Link address to 4111. Link address 4111 is FICON switch 41 and CU Port 11.
c. Update Unit address to 00. Unit Address (UA) of 00 is the starting UA number on the
CHPID.
d. Update Number of units to 256. Number of units of 256 equals A000-A0FF (that is,
00-FF or 256).
e. Update Logical address to 40. Logical address of 40 is the CUADD or the CU
ADDress that is defined in the DS8886 that defines the location of the devices in the
DS8886.

Although a mixture of FICON switched and FICON direct connections are not recommended
to the same CU, this configuration is possible.
A typical scenario might be where you were moving from direct connected direct access
storage device to a FICON switch connected direct access storage device, but you cannot
take the direct access storage device offline to live systems.
12.2.4 Defining 3390B devices to an OSCONFIG and EDTs / Esoteric

The OSCONFIG name is the part of an IODF that determines what devices a z/OS system
may access when it IPLs. Additionally, the partition that the z/OS system is restarted in also
must have access to the CHPIDs that connect to the CUs and devices that match in the
OSCONFIG.
The OSCONFIG also contains Esoterics device groups that are defined in Eligible Device
Tables (EDTs) within an OSCONFIG.
Esoterics device groups are used to request allocation of a device that was defined in an
Esoteric device group when using the UNIT = parameter in a JCL DD statement. However, this
allocation can be overridden or intercepted by using DFSMS.
The OSCONFIG name includes these items:

Device Parameters and Features
EDT ID: Esoterics / VIO
NIP Consoles

Here are the considerations for adding devices to an OSCONFIG and Esoteric:
Adding a device to an OSCONFIG does not necessarily mean that the z/OS system has
access to that device.
Does the device need to be added to an Esoteric device group? Mostly, this item is
installation-specific.
The example adds the predefined 2107 devices A000-A0EF (3390B) and A0F0-A0FF
(3390A).
To define 3390B devices to an OSCONFIG and EDT/Esoteric, complete the following steps:
1. From the main HCD panel, select option 1.5. I/O Devices.
2. Scroll through the I/O Device List until you find the device number that you want to add to
the OSCONFIG, or in the command line enter L A000. In our example, we use A000.
3. Enter c next to one or more device numbers, and press Enter.
HCD displays the Change Device Definition panel where you can modify the CU that the
devices are attached to (see Figure 12-15). Press Enter.

Chapter 13. Adding network devices

This chapter describes how to define OSC, OSD, OSE, and Internal Queued Direct (IQD)
channel path IDs (CHPIDs); control units (CUs); and devices.
Here is a list of these potential configuration items and a short description about how to do
each of them by using Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD).

(3932).


When defining I/O components in an input/output definition file (IODF), certain definitions like
operating system configurations (OSCONFIGs), partitions, Fibre Connection (FICON)
switches, CUs, and devices must be done first. After these items are defined, then the
connections can be made:
Defining OSC CHPIDs
Defining OSC CHPID connections to an OSC control unit
Defining 3270-X devices to an OSCONFIG
Defining 3270-X devices to the Nucleus Initialization Program Console List within an
OSCONFIG
Defining OSD CHPIDs
Defining OSD CHPID connections to an OSA control unit
Defining OSA and OSAD devices to an OSCONFIG
Defining OSE CHPIDs
Defining OSE CHPID connections to an OSA control unit
Defining OSA and OSAD devices to an OSCONFIG
Defining IQD CHPIDs
Defining IQD CHPID connections to an IQD control unit
Defining IQD devices to an OSCONFIG
The following I/O definitions use HCD to demonstrate the examples. The examples continue
with the work example SYS9.IODF81.WORK.
13.2 Open Systems Adapter CHPID definitions

This section covers defining OSC, OSD, and OSE CHPIDs, and their CUs and devices.
13.2.1 Defining OSC CHPIDs

When defining an OSC connection, first you must determine which type of Open Systems
Adapter-Express (OSA-Express) feature that you need for your configuration:
Fiber optical cable-based features:
– OSA-Express7S 1.2 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Short Wave (SX) or Long Wave (LX)
– OSA-Express7S GbE SX or LX
Copper wire-based (unshielded twisted pair) feature:
– OSA-Express7S 1.2 1000Base-T
– OSA-Express7S 1000Base-T

Here are considerations for a new OSC CHPID:

CHPID
Channel ID (CHID).
Channel path type.
Operational mode.
Description.
Partition access list.
installed in the processor and to what Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)
ports on what central processor complex (CPC) drawer that the I/O cards connect to. (For
a list of installed hardware, see the physical channel ID (PCHID)/CHID report.)
To define an OSC CHPID and provide access to a partition, complete the following steps:
3. Enter s next to the channel subsystem (CSS) ID that you want to add a CHPID to, and
press Enter.
4. Press PF11 or, in the command line, enter add (see Figure 13-1) to add a CHPID.
a. Update Channel path ID to C6.
b. Update Channel ID to 11C.
c. Update Channel path type to OSC.
d. Update Operational mode to SHR.
e. Update Description to the description that you want.

13.2.2 Defining OSC CHPID connections to an OSC control unit

The only way to define an Open Systems Adapter (OSA) connection to its CU is direct
connected.
You might want to connect the OSC CU definition to multiple CPCs even though the physical
OSC is still unique to any one CPC. Also, you might want to span the OSC over multiple
CSSs within a CPC.
Here are considerations for connecting an OSC CHPID to an OSC CU and its 3270-X
devices:
Determine how many OSCs are required to provide a primary and secondary/backup
network connection.
The example connects to a predefined OSC CU (1C60) and 3270-X devices 0700-070F.
To define OSC CHPID connections to an OSC CU, complete the following steps:
command line enter L 1C60. In our example, we use 1C60.
4. Make any changes to the CU definition that you want (see Figure 13-4), and press Enter.

can access when it undergoes an IPL. Additionally, the partition that the z/OS system is
restarted in also must be able to access the CHPIDs that connect to the CUs and devices that
match in the OSCONFIG.
The OSCONFIG also contains Esoterics device groups, which are defined in Eligible Device
Tables (EDTs) within an OSCONFIG. OSA definitions usually do not use Esoterics.
Here are considerations for adding devices to an OSCONFIG:

Adding a device to an OSCONFIG does not necessarily mean that the z/OS system can
access that device.
In this example, we add the predefined OSC devices 0700-070F (3270-X).
To define 3270-X devices to an OSCONFIG, complete the following steps:

the OSCONFIG, or in the command line enter L 0700. In our example, we use 0700.

13.2.4 Defining 3270-X devices to the Nucleus Initialization Program Console

List within an OSCONFIG
The Nucleus Initialization Program Console List determines the device addresses that are
eligible to receive Nucleus Initialization Program or IPL messages in the early startup stages
of when z/OS is started.
The devices first must be defined to an OSCONFIG so that they can be added to a Nucleus
Initialization Program Console List within an OSCONFIG.
The Nucleus Initialization Program Console List also determines which console receives the
Nucleus Initialization Program/IPL messages first. If that console is unavailable, then the
Nucleus Initialization Program tries the next device in the list until all devices in the list are
tried.
If the Nucleus Initialization Program cannot write IPL messages to any 3270-X device in the
list, then the messages are written to the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Operating
System Messages panel.

To view these messages, complete the following steps:

1. Select the logical partition (LPAR) for IPL on the HMC.
2. Click the >> breakout symbol next to the LPAR name.
3. Select Daily → Operating System Messages, as shown in Figure 13-12.
Figure 13-12 Operating System Messages
Commands and displays can be entered into the Command field (see Figure 13-13).
Figure 13-13 Operating System Messages command interface
Here are considerations for adding devices to a Nucleus Initialization Program Console List
within an OSCONFIG:
Adding a device to a Nucleus Initialization Program Console List within an OSCONFIG
does not necessarily mean that Nucleus Initialization Program may write IPL messages to
that device.
The devices that are defined in the Nucleus Initialization Program Console List also need
CU and CHPID access to the partition where z/OS is being started.

On the HMC under OSA Advanced Facilities, the OSC (Open Systems Adapter Integrated
Console Controller (ICC) (OSA-ICC) console Server and Session definitions must be
defined and activated.
A valid 3270-X session (that uses IBM PCOM or an equivalent 3270 emulator) also must
be connected to the OSA-ICC Session. This configuration enables a valid session to be
established to the OSA-ICC for Nucleus Initialization Program messages to be delivered to
that device.
In this example, we add the predefined OSC devices 0700-0701 (3270-X).
To define 3270-X devices to the Nucleus Initialization Program within an OSCONFIG,

complete the following steps:
1. From the main HCD panel, select option 1.1. Operating system configurations to
display the Operating System Configuration List.
2. Scroll through the list of OSCONFIG definitions until you find the OSCONFIG that you
want to add to the 3270-X devices to the Nucleus Initialization Program Console List, or in
the command line enter L ITSOTEST. In our example, we use ITSOTEST.
3. Enter n next to the OSCONFIG, and press Enter.
HCD displays the defined devices in the Nucleus Initialization Program Console List (see
Figure 13-14).

13.2.5 Defining OSD CHPIDs

When defining an OSD connection, first you must determine which type of OSA-Express
feature that you need for your configuration:
Fiber optical cable-based features:
– OSA-Express7S 1.2 GbE SX or LX
– OSA-Express7S 1.2 10 GbE SR or LR
– OSA-Express7S 1.2 25 GbE SR or LR
– OSA-Express7S 10 GbE SR or LR1
– OSA-Express7S GbE SX or LX1
– OSA-Express7S 25 GbE SR1
– OSA-Express6S GbE SX or LX
– OSA-Express6S 10 GbE SR or LR
Copper wire-based (unshielded twisted pair) feature:
– OSA-Express7S 1.2 1000Base-T
– OSA-Express7S 1000Base-T1
Here are considerations for a new OSD CHPID:

The OSCONFIG also contains Esoterics device groups, which are defined in EDTs within an
OSCONFIG. OSA definitions usually do not use Esoterics.

In this example, we add the predefined OSA devices 1E10 - 1E1F (OSA/OSAD).
To define OSA and OSAD devices to an OSCONFIG, complete the following steps:
the OSCONFIG, or in the command line enter L 1E10. In our example, we use 1E10.
Because OSA and OSAD are two different device types, they must be added separately to

13.2.9 Defining OSE CHPID connections to an OSA control unit

The only way to define an OSA connection to its CU is direct connected.

You might want to connect the OSA CU definition to multiple CPCs even though the physical
OSA is still unique to any one CPC. Also, you might want to span the OSA over multiple CSSs
within a CPC.
Here are considerations for connecting an OSE CHPID to an OSA CU and its OSA/OSAD
devices:
Determine how many OSAs are required to provide a primary and secondary/backup
network connection.
This example connects to a predefined OSA CU (1C30), OSA devices 1C30 - 1C3E, and
OSAD device 1C3F.
To define OSE CHPID connections to an OSA CU, complete the following steps:
command line enter L 1C30. In our example, we use 1C30.

13.3 IQD CHPIDs for HiperSockets

This section describes the process to define IQD CHPIDs and their CUs and devices.
13.3.1 Defining IQD CHPIDs

When you define HiperSockets, use the CHPID type of IQD Communication. IQD CHPID also
requires the virtual channel ID (VCHID) statement. The valid range for the VCHIDs are 7C0 -
7FF.
Like ICP CHPIDs, IQD CHPIDs are defined logically and internally to the processor and
require no installed hardware (PCHIDs). However, a maximum of up to 32 high-speed virtual
local area network (VLAN) attachments may be defined.
Each of the logical IQD VCHIDs can support only one CHPID, but the CHPIDs may be
spanned across multiple CSSs.
Here are considerations for a new IQD CHPID:

CHPID

Description

To define an IQD CHPID and provide access to a partition, complete the following steps:
2. Type s next to the processor that you want to add a CHPID to, and press Enter.
3. Type s next to the CSS ID that you want to add a CHPID to, and press Enter.
– Update Channel path ID to F0.

14.1 Defining more I/O by using an HCD

like operating system configurations (OSCONFIGs), partitions, Fibre Connection (FICON)
switches, control units (CUs), and devices must be done first. After these items are defined,
then the connections can be made:

Defining CS5 CHPIDs
Defining a Coupling Facility link with CS5 CHPIDs
Defining CL5 CHPIDs
Defining a Coupling Facility link with CL5 CHPIDs

The following I/O definitions use HCD to demonstrate the examples. The examples in this
chapter continue the work example that was created in the previous chapters (for example,
SYS9.IODF81.WORK).
14.2 Coupling Facility logical partitions, CS5, CL5, and ICP

CHPIDs
This section covers defining CF logical partitions (LPARs) and the definitions for CS5, CL5,
and ICP CHPID types.
14.2.1 Defining Coupling Facility LPARs in a channel subsystem

Here are considerations for a new (unreserved) partition:
Partition name.
Number.
Usage.
Description.
To add CHPIDs to a partition, they first must be defined to the processor.
Renaming an existing partition is a two-step process:
a. Redefine the partition as reserved (Partition name = *), and activate the IODF on the
processor.
b. Redefine the partition with the new name, and activate the IODF on the processor.
To change a reserved partition to an active partition in a channel subsystem (CSS), complete

2. Enter s next to the processor that you want to add a partition to, and press Enter.
3. Enter p next to the CSS ID that you want to add a partition to, and press Enter.
4. Enter c next to the Reserved Partition that you want to unreserve (we use ID E for this
example), and press Enter.

5. Make the following updates (see Figure 14-1), and press Enter:
– Update Partition Name to PAVO3E (a naming standard based on CSS=3, Partition =E).
– Review Partition usage and change it if required. We use CF in this example.
– Update Description to PAVO3E test CF partition.

14.2.2 Defining CS5 CHPIDs

When defining a CS5 CHPID to create a CF link between a CF LPAR and a z/OS LPAR, first
determine which z/OS LPARs require access to which CF LPARs, how many CF links are
required, and to how many different physical processors.
CS5 CF CHPIDs are defined by using Feature Code 0172 or 0176 (Integrated Coupling
Adapter Short Reach (ICA SR and ICA-SR 1.1) two port (link) cards that are installed on the
central processor complex (CPC) drawer instead of in the PCIe+ I/O drawer.
The ICA SR card has two ports (Port 1 and Port 2) that provide two physical connections to
another ICA SR card on the same or different processor.
Each of the ports can have up to four CHPIDs defined to these ports.
Here are considerations for a new CS5 CHPID:

CHPID.
Channel path type.
Operational mode.
Description.
Adapter ID (AID).
Adapter port.
Chapter 14. Adding coupling connectivity 349

For performance and redundancy, determine how many AID cards are installed in the
processor and to what Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) slot on what
CPC drawer (for a list of installed hardware, see the physical channel ID (PCHID) /
channel ID (CHID) report).
To define a CS5 CHPID and provide access to a partition, complete the following steps:
4. Press PF11 or, in the command line, enter add (see Figure 14-2) to add a CHPID.
– Update Channel path type to CS5.

14.2.3 Defining a Coupling Facility link with CS5 CHPIDs

The only way to define a CS5 CHPID to another CS5 CHPID is direct connected.
Here are considerations for creating a CF link by using CS5 CHPIDs:

The ICA SR connection is a physical cable between two Feature Code #172 or #0176
cards on the same or different processors.
Up to four logical CHPIDs per port can be defined over that physical connection.
Determine how many CS5 CF links are required to provide enough primary and
secondary links and coupling bandwidth.
Determine which z/OS LPARs on the same or different processors need access to the CF
LPARs.
CF links provide Server Time Protocol (STP) connectivity for a Coordinated Timing
Network (CTN) between processors and a sysplex.
In this example, we connect two CS5 CHPIDs (80 and 84) on the same processor.
To define a CF link with CS5 CHPIDs, complete the following steps:

2. Enter s next to the processor that you want to create the first CF link from, and press
Enter.
3. Enter s next to the CSS ID that has the CS5 CHPID definition that you want to create the
first CF link from, and press Enter.
4. Scroll through the Channel Path List until you find the first CS5 CHPID that you want to
connect from, or in the command line enter L 80. In our example, we use 80.
5. Enter f next to the CHPID definition (see Figure 14-7), and press ‘Enter’.

14.2.4 Defining CL5 CHPIDs

When defining a CL5 CHPID to create a CF link between a CF LPAR and a z/OS LPAR,
determine which z/OS LPARs require access to which CF LPARs, how many CF links are
required, and to how many different physical processors.
CL5 CF CHPIDs are defined by using Feature Code #0434 (Coupling Express2 LR) cards,
which are installed in the PCIe+ I/O drawer instead of on the CPC drawer.
The Coupling Express2 LR card has two ports (Port 1 and Port 2), which provide two physical
connections between another Coupling Express2 LR card on the same or different processor.
They can also connect to a CE LR (FC 0433) on an IBM z15 and IBM z14 machines.
Each of the ports can have up to four CHPIDs defined.
Here are considerations for a new CL5 CHPID:

14.2.6 Defining ICP CHPIDs

When defining an ICP CHPID to create a CF link between a CF LPAR and a z/OS LPAR,
determine which z/OS LPARs require access to which CF LPARs, and how many CF links are
required within the same physical processor.
ICP CF CHPIDs are defined logically and internally to the processor and require no installed
hardware.

Note: The maximum number of ICP CHPIDs for an IBM z16 (A01, A02 and AGZ) is 64.
Each of the logical ICP links can support only one CHPID at each end of the link. However,
the CHPIDS can be spanned across multiple CSSs.
Here are considerations for a new ICP CHPID:

Chapter 15. Adding Peripheral Component

Interconnect Express devices
This chapter describes the steps to define Peripheral Component Interconnect Express
(PCIe) functions, features, and devices for Internal Shared Memory (ISM), Remote Direct
Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and zHyperLink.
It includes a list of these potential configuration items and a short description about how to do
each of them by using Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD). It also includes an overview
of PCIe functions.

Defining PCIe functions by using HCD
PCIe feature definitions
mentioned.
(3932).

15.1 Defining PCIe functions by using HCD

like operating system configurations (OSCONFIGs), partitions, Fibre Connection (FICON)
switches, control units (CUs), and devices must be done first. After these items are defined,
then the following connections can be made:
Defining an ISM PCIe function
Defining a RoCE PCIe function
Defining a zHyperLink PCIe function
The following I/O definitions use HCD to demonstrate the examples. This section continues to
use the work example SYS9.IODF81.WORK.
Note: Starting with the IBM z15, the zEnterprise Data Compression (zEDC) PCIe feature
is no longer available as a separate hardware feature, Compression functions are
implemented directly on the processor chip. Therefore, an HCD configuration is no longer
required.
15.2 PCIe feature definitions

This section provides a brief overview of the Function statement and covers defining ISM,
RoCE, and zHyperLink PCIe features.
15.2.1 Overview
PCIe adapters that are attached to a system can provide the operating system (OS) with
various so-called PCIe functions to be used by entitled logical partitions (LPARs).
Currently, HCD supports the following features for an IBM z16:

ISM PCIe Adapter. A virtual PCIe (vPCIe) adapter for which a virtual channel ID (VCHID)
must be defined.
RoCE. PCIe functions of type RoCE-2 may be assigned to external physical networks by
specifying corresponding PNET IDs.
zHyperLink. Requires a new PCIe function attribute for identifying a port on the adapter to
which the function is related.
Note: The support of virtual functions (VFs), the allowed range of VFIDs, and support of
PNETIDs depends on the processor type and support level. For more information, see
Input/Output Configuration Program User’s Guide, SB10-7177. HCD offers prompts for
VFIDs and ensures that the validation rules are fulfilled.
HCD provides dialog boxes to define, change, delete, and view PCIe functions, and to control
which LPARs access which PCIe functions.

In addition, HCD provides the following reports:

The PCIe Function Summary Report displays the partitions in the access and candidate
lists, which are entitled to access the available PCIe functions.
The PCIe Function Compare Report shows the changes of PCIe functions between
processors of two IODFs.
HCD supports the new I/O configuration statement FUNCTION for defining and configuring
PCIe functions.
The input/output (I/O) subsystem, which controls channel operations, requires specific data
about the hardware I/O configuration.
To define PCIe functions for the I/O subsystem, you must specify the following items:
LPARs
PCIe adapter functions on the central processor complex (CPC) and their assignment to
LPARs.
A PCIe function is defined by a unique identifier, the function ID (FID). Each function specifies
a function type and a channel ID (CHID). Multiple functions may be specified to the same
CHID value if each of these functions defines a unique VF number when defining a PCIe
function. Example 15-1 shows definitions for a zHyperLink card for Port 1 and multiple VFIDs,
each assigned to a specific LPAR.

15.2.2 Defining an ISM PCIe function

The IBM z16 system supports ISM vPCIe devices to enable optimized cross-LPAR TCP
communications by using socket-based direct memory access (DMA), that is, SMC - Direct
Memory Access over Internal Shared Memory (SMC-D).
SMC-D uses a vPCIe adapter and is configured like a physical PCIe device. There are up to
32 ISM adapters, each with a unique Physical Network ID per CPC.
Internal Shared Memory technology

ISM is a virtual PCI network adapter that enables direct access to shared virtual memory,
providing highly optimized network communications for OSs within the same IBM zSystem
platform.
Virtual memory is managed by each z/OS (similar to SMC - Remote Direct Memory Access
over Converged Ethernet Express (SMC-R) logically shared memory) following the existing
IBM zSystem PCIe I/O translation architecture.
For more information about the management of SMC-D, see IBM z/OS V2R2
Communications Server TCP/IP Implementation Volume 1: Base Functions, Connectivity,
and Routing, SG24-8360.
ISM configuration
In this example, we define these items:
CHID=7F1 to FIDs 0040 (VF=1) and 0041 (VF=2) on CPC = PAVO
CHID=7F2 to FIDs 0050 (VF=1) and 0051 (VF=2) on CPC = PAVO


2. Enter f (work with PCIe functions) next to the processor (PAVO) to which you want to define

ISM management
From an operational standpoint, SMC-D is like SMC-R. However, SMC-D uses DMA instead
of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), and it uses a virtual PCI adapter that is called
ISM rather than an RDMA network interface card (RNIC). The ISM interfaces are associated
with IP interfaces (for example, HiperSockets or Open Systems Adapter-Express
(OSA-Express)), and are dynamically created, automatically started and stopped, and
auto-discovered.
SMC-D over ISM does not use queue pair (QP) technology like SMC-R. Therefore, links and
Link Groups based on QPs (or other hardware constructs) are not applicable to ISM. SMC-D
protocol has a design concept of a “logical point-to-point connection” that is called an SMC-D
link.
Note: The SMC-D information in the netstat command output is related to ISM link
information (not Link Groups).
15.2.3 Defining a RoCE PCIe function

As mentioned in 2.5.4, “Network connectivity” on page 28, the following features are
supported on the IBM z16 system:
10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RoCE Express2 (Feature Code #0412, carry forward only)
10 GbE RoCE Express2.1 (Feature Code #0432, carry forward only)
10 GbE RoCE Express3 SR (Feature Code #0440)
10 GbE RoCE Express3 LR (Feature Code #0441)
25 GbE RoCE Express2 (Feature Code #0430, carry forward only)
25 GbE RoCE Express2.1 (Feature Code #0450, carry forward only)
25GbE RoCE Express3 SR (Feature Code #0452)
25GbE RoCE Express3 LR (Feature Code #0453)
This section provides information about the configuration of the SMC-R on an IBM z16.

RoCE overview
The IBM zSystems RoCE Express features are native PCIe features, so the HCD and
input/out configuration program (IOCP) definition rule differ from a non-native PCIe card such
as OSA-Express. Here are the rules:
The PCIe function ID (PFID) must be defined in HCD or Hardware Configuration Manager
(HCM) to create IOCP input:
– FID is a three hexadecimal value (range 0000 - 47FF), which specifies the PCIe
function.
– The PFID cannot be assigned to a channel subsystem (CSS), so any LPAR can be
defined to a function.
– The PFID has a PARTITION parameter that dedicates it to one LPAR or enables
reconfiguration among a group of LPARs. A function cannot be defined as shared.
– In z/OS system commands, a PFID is represented as PFID.
If the intended PCIe hardware supports multiple partitions, it has a decimal virtual function
(VF) number (VF=) in the range 1 - n, where n is the maximum number of partitions that
the PCIe feature supports.
Other parameters that are specific to the PCIe feature. For example, the IBM RoCE
Express2 requires a Physical Network Identifier (PNETID=)1, and supports a port identifier
(PORT=).
For function mapping to hardware, assign a PCHID to identify the hardware feature in a
specific PCIe I/O drawer and the slot to be used for the defined function. The following
methods can be used:
– Manually, by using the configurator (eCONFIG) PCHID report.
– Using the channel path ID (CHPID) Mapping Tool (CMT) and the eConfig Configuration
Report File (CFR) input.
Note: Unlike CHPIDs, multiple functions can be mapped to the same PCHID. This
approach is conceptually like mapping multiple InfiniBand coupling CHPIDs to the same
adapter and port.
The example in the following section is for a 10 GbE RoCE Express3 SR Card. The same
principles also apply to the other supported RoCE Express cards on IBM z16 systems.

15.2.4 IBM Integrated Accelerator for zEDC

On the IBM z16 system, an IBM Integrated Accelerator for zEDC replaces the IBM zEDC
Express PCIe adapter.
The IBM z16 processor chip has two integrated accelerators in the design. IBM integrated
on-chip compression uses an algorithm for file compression that reduces the size of data to
save storage space or increase the data transfer rate. This on-chip compression capability
delivers industry-leading throughput and replaces the zEDC Express adapter on the z14 and
earlier systems. There are no more input/output configuration data set (IOCDS) definitions
that are needed to use the compression function.
However, all data interchange remains compatible. IBM z16 and zEDC capable CPCs
co-exist. Data that is compressed and written with zEDC is read and decompressed by IBM
z16 systems.
Note: All z/OS configuration prerequisites stay the same. BSAM / QSAM and SMF
Logstream compression still need software enablement as a chargeable feature.
15.2.5 Defining a zHyperLink PCIe function

The zHyperLink Express is a direct-connect, short-distance IBM zSystem I/O feature that
works with a High-Performance FICON storage area network (SAN) infrastructure.
IBM zHyperLink dramatically reduces latency by interconnecting the IBM z16 directly to the
I/O bay of the DS8880 storage system or later.
zHyperLink uses a PCIe feature that is called zHyperLink Express (Feature Code #0451 or
Feature Code #0431).
There are two ports per feature, and up to 127 VFIDs can be defined per port.
zHyperLink configuration
CHID=150 to FID = 2133, VFIDs = 3, Port = 1, on CPC = PAVO
CHID=150 to FID = 2233, VFIDs = 3, Port = 2, on CPC = PAVO
CHID=19C to FID = 2333, VFIDs = 3, Port = 1, on CPC = PAVO
CHID=19C to FID = 2433, VFIDs = 3, Port = 2, on CPC = PAVO

To determine the spine width of a book, you divide the paper PPI into the number of pages in the book. An example is a 250 page book using Plainfield opaque 50# smooth which has a PPI of 526. Divided
250 by 526 which equals a spine width of .4752". In this case, you would use the .5” spine. Now select the Spine width for the book and hide the others: Special>Conditional
Text>Show/Hide>SpineSize(-->Hide:)>Set . Move the changed Conditional text settings to all files in your book by opening the book file with the spine.fm still open and File>Import>Formats the
Conditional Text Settings (ONLY!) to the book files.
