.TH ctc_configure "8" "July 2013" "s390-tools"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ctc_configure \- Configures or deconfigures a Channel-to-Channel adapter (CTC) or LAN Channel Station adapter (LCS)
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B ctc_configure read_channel write_channel online [protocol]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B ctc_configure
|
|
is intended to make it easy to persistently add and remove IBM CTC and LCS adapters. In addition to bringing the adapter online or offline, it will also create or delete the necessary udev rules for the adapter.
|
|
.SH PARAMETERS
|
|
.IP read_channel
|
|
The device number of the read channel of the adapter. Takes the form x.y.ssss.
|
|
.IP write_channel
|
|
The device number of the write channel of the adapter.Takes the form x.y.ssss.
|
|
.RS

where
|
|
.RS
|
|
.B x
|
|
is always 0 until IBM creates something that uses that number.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.RS
|
|
.B y
|
|
is the logical channel subsystem (lcss) number. Most often this is 0, but it could be non-zero.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.RS
|
|
.B ssss
|
|
is the four digit subchannel address of the device, in hexidecimal, with leading zeros. If entered in upper/mixed case, this is automatically converted to lower case.

Keep in mind that for a CTC, the read channel needs to be coupled to the write channel of the peer, and vice versa. This does not apply to LCS adapters.
